to fit in the stock location. '75 350 with AC. Hatchback

tried a #337 (3 row), close but no cigar- too tall, the cap hit the hood

Get a Griffin aluminum drop in one. Fits great and cools even better. I suggest the 400hp version to avoid clearance issues.

You are going to have to fab something up if you want to use any radiator not designed for a v8 monza.

If you don't want the hassle buy a bolt in griffin from v8monza.com

If you have power steering you also need the top mounted curved inlet. Most radiators have a straight pipe coming out of the end cap which will run right into the power steering pump. The drop ins are expensive but they fit properly and work. If you don't mind doing some fab work and modifying the radiator and chassis to fit you may find something to work but you will have to determine if it's worth the time and hassle. Here's a pic of a correct V8 radiator (along side a Griffin replacement) and a more traditional "universal" type.

6-277AV-BAX is with the trans cooler, 6-277AV-BXX is without cooler. Make sure you double check the numbers before ordering but that's the info I have.
