question for radiator gurus.

Post by 03rangerxlt »

I have a 360 v8 in a 1968 F100.
What years, Ford models, and engine sizes share thids radiator. The reason I ask is, can i take a 197x radiator from a Bronco and use it? How about a different vehicle? engine? etc....
thanks in advanced.

you can use one out of a econoline van right up to the 90's if you cut down the side mounts on the rad.

I use a 351w 89 econoline large core rad in my truck it looks the same but I did need to re drill & cut about 1" off both sides of the rads mount to clear the trucks rad support webbing.

if the rads bungs are smaller than the hose I just use a old peace of rad hose as a resize spacer.
WHAT ?

Aight, I'll use that as a last ditch thing. I need a radiator I can easily order and have shipped to my mechanic so he can drop it in if possible though. If it comes to that, I will just order it,snatch my old radiator out of the truck, and get themto match, and then drop the mod'ed one off for install.

Not much of a radiator guru but I bought an all aluminum radiator for my 68 f100 for 275.00. Considering all of the other aluminum radiators I have seen on jegs, summit, etc. this was a smoking deal. If you want one, or if anyone wants one here let me know and I can order them from my supplier and ship them to your locations.
