Putting the Muscle back into Classic Cars

Cooling issues fixed in the Phoenix

April 20, 2024

Due to the performance upgrades and repairs done to the Chrysler 440 in the Phoenix we were beginning to have overheating issues, especially during the hotter summer months in Melbourne.  We solved this by upgrading the radiator in the Dodge from a standard Copper Radiator to a custom made Aluminium Radiator.  The new Aluminium Radiator features a dual core and is equivlent to a 7 core Copper Radiator, this combined with thermo fans meant that there were no more hot issues for the Phoenix even in the scorching Australian summer.
