Hey fellas, I am waiting to hear back from Jeff, but thought I would post here as well. I got the 68 mustang radiator, but I'm having issues mounting it. The core is 20 1/2 inches wide and with the mounting tabs, it's 22 1/2 in back of the radiator and about 21 1/4 in front. These holes don't line up with the ones in the cradle for the car. Should I flip the cradle? Do I have the wrong radiator? Thanks fellas!
Here is a thread I had going awhile back and I think is now part of the FAQ Sticky that shows a lot of different radiator options. I went with a '67 Mustang and you can kind of see how mine is mounted in the thread. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&discussionid=32907&pp=20&page=2
Sorry Rocky,you bought the wrong radiator compare the measurements in Dos Cincos post to yours.That's why I told you to see Oscar locally to get the same one as the Genesis radiator,looks like you will be doing a little cutting and drilling.
Thought that might have happened. Just par for the course with this engine swap. Actually starting to regret it a little. Nothing seems to be going right. But I guess thats what building these things is all about.... Learning. Need to make a new trans crossmember tomorrow too. That should be fun.
Dragon, I had the same problem. I took some measurement and purchased a radiator that was close to that size. Engineered products ECB 379 from E-Bay 199.00. I believe its for a BB Mustang, anyway went to tractor supply and picked up some flat stock and 1/4 spacers. I drilled 3 holes each side and used the spacers to mount the radiator. I will try and post pix into my album.
