Just curious if anyone knew. I've been looking at Champion, and they seem to leave out anything under 65 without a V8. I realize the 63 has probably very little space, but couldn't you install a 65 without any problems??? |

Yes, as long as you use the 18" radiator. |

I did it in a 64 Dart. The only difference between the 65 and the earlier 64/63 radiator is the width. I cut off the radiator mount on the passenger side of the support and moved it over a couple of inches and welded it back in, fits great. Now I have a larger radiator that still looks original.[/img] |

CC64DT is the Champion Radiator for a 64 Dart without a slant six. The size is same as the stock for a Slant Six. The difference is where the water pump hose goes into the radiator. For the V8 it is on the driver side. The slant six has it on the passenger side. You can call Champion and order that radiator with the port for the water pump being on the passenger side, however it will cost another $60. I ordered it before I found that out, and had to use a long flex hose to reach that other side. It is worth adding that extra $60. I used it on my 1963 Dart. |

I was looking for a traditional look. I don't remember who made the radiator but it uses the stock /6 hoses. |
