Going to try the '65 mustang V8 radiator in our yblock T with A shell. Does anyone have the outside dimensions of one? I want to build the mounts to mount our shell but I cannot afford to buy the radiator yet so I was thinking if I had the measurements I could build a mockup so I could at least get the shell where I need it, thanks-
I do at home, (I'm a work now) I have a 66 radiator in my T with a shortened 29 shell. I assume 65 and 66 are the same size. If someone doesn't beat me to it I will post them when I get home.
the part # is a 130...can get u one for 75.00..brand new plus shipping...I run a radiator shop...they work great in that shell..thats what I sell all the rodders around here.Good luck w your build.If you need anything just let me know.
went online today been a couple months since I had priced them...They are now 110.00,...Very sorry for the misinformation!my appologies.!
here is a warehouse that carrys them just type in cr130 in the search...this will give you a visual of it. northernfactory.com
National Parts Depot's online Mustang catalog has the demensions of ALL Mustang radiator from '65 to '73.
got a '40 chevy p/u with a sbc I am going to try one in that as well, pretty tight in that engine compartment...
I used mustang rads in my last two cars model A shell chopped 3" and my present 32 grille shell, work great.This worked for me you might want to try it,remove the side mounts and swap them side for side.This sets the rad farther into the shell and now the mounts are at the back where the shell is wider,and gives a better flush mount.I had a shop do and i think it was like 30.00.

So the Mustang 64-66 v8 radiators will work in a Deuce shell? I heard through idle chatter that if you are running a SB Ford than a Mustang radiator will work. I you are running a SBC then you need a Grenada radiator because the inlet/outlets are on the right side. Don't know if anybody can confirm this. I am asking because I am going to run a Deuce grill with a SBC. Wanted to get a radiator that I didn't have to hace the inlets/outlets moved. Anybody have a good ideas? Fryguy
Thanks and understood. Any idea of a radiator that doesn't the nexk modified. I was looking at a flex-a-lite radiator part number 52000 it looks as to be 17 1/8" wide and 17" inches tall with inlets at top left and bottom right. Didn't know if anybody ever used one or not?
Does the mustang radiator need to be modified to feed a small block chevy? I have a 1929 Model A grill shell chopped, and a sbc 350
