Well I got my 54 ford in the stop and the first thing I discovered is it needs a radiator. It had a 67 mustang radiator cobbed in and it was past shot. I was hoping some one here could suggest a rad that would fit. The car has a 351 W and the rad must have both water necks on the p***enger side. It also is a automatic car so it should have a cooler on board. I was hoping to find one that would bolt up to the original rad support with out to much modification.Thanks in advance. D
Several members have used this one:http://www.genesisautoparts.com/product/all25549X2303aa.htm very minor fabrication to fit almost a bolt-in,here is a picture of one installed:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=32796&pictureid=419470
As a side note you should order this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sacrificial...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4175254a57 also to prevent electrolysis with the aluminum which can shorten the life of the new radiator and also your aluminum intake manifold Cheap insurance!
The radiator you sent a link to is pictured having the water outlets both on the p***enger side. And that is what I want. But your car pics show the lower water outlet on the driver side? Is the picture on genesis auto wrong? Thanks.D
No the link is correct,in 1970 when Ford SBF's went to the long water pumps the lower hose went to the drivers side.When you do a swap using the long water pump SBF Genesis offers a radiator with the lower driver side outlet which is what is in the car pics,they both are the same physical size and bolt in the same so you are good to go with the link.
