I was looking at my father´s Concorde 2001 engine bay, and then a crazy idea came to me. How will my Duster look with a Concorde radiator, fans and coolant deposit?

So I was also thinking in how much difficult could that be, anyone knows is my idea is possible?

Anything is possible with a hot wrench and a BFH. Larger radiators are readily available for your car, why use the other?

Ok, but new radiators don´t have filling neck, you need to fill them by cooler bottle, so how dou you connect the bottle to radiator?

When I upgraded the radiator in my '65 Dart. I used a HD radiator from a '77 Aspen with A/C and \6. This radiator only needed the bottom mounting holes redrilled. It should bolt-in on your Duster. Here is a write up I did on the setup: http://www.kesteb.us/slant6/radiator.html

The bottle connects to a hose at the base of the radiator cap, over flow goes into the bottle, and when needed fluids from the bottle are sucked back into the radiator and cooling system through the same hose.

I have added bottle systems to all of my slants since I have dogs around my property that I care about and they love antifreeze for some reason. I simply cut the line that leads down the side of the radiator to the ground, and send it to the overflow bottle.

Hey dart63, got some pics of your radiator and bottle system? the bottle I got here got two ways for hoses, one is located at the upper left side and the other is at the left back part, this one is bigger than firts one.
