Re: 22nd series radiator

I believe the radiators will physically interchange in all models but there is a difference in core thickness or rows of tubes so capacity changes due to engine size.

Believe the station sedan or wagon has a 288 engine while your deluxe sedan has the 327. Specs given in the Oct 15, 47 Service Counselor say the cooling capacity for 288 models is 4 1/2 gallons while it is 5 gallons for the 327 and 356.

Since the 22-23 series models are not known for having excess capacity in their cooling systems putting a smaller radiator on a larger engine is asking for trouble. The outfit that makes the new aluminum radiator does seem to offer an optional larger core but without more info hard to say if that would suffice..
