'69 Chrysler 383 Coolers
Posted: Thu May 28, 2015 6:20 pm
Need a little help from the crew here. I would like to replace the engine oil and transmission oil coolers on my motors. I have had trouble with them in the past and it is time for some new parts when it comes to reliability. Here is my problem, I can't remember the dimensions!!! These are on a 1969 SeaVoyager with twin Chrysler 383's. I am positive that they are 2" in diameter, and I believe that the engine oil cooler is a 6" coil (the cooling part, actual length probably 8-9") with 3/4 threaded fittings and 3/4 hose fittings. If my foggy memory is correct, the transmission cooler is the same diameter and fittings, but is a 9" coil (probably 10-11" overall length). Does this sound right??? I found a place (Palmer Power in Houston) that can have the coolers made to whatever dimensions and fittings I want, I just want to make sure that I order them correct as they are custom built and not returnable. Or, does anyone know of or have recommendations to get them somewhere else? Thanks!
