Modifying radiator

I'm wanting to use a mustang radiator in my project, and can anyone tell me if you can put some mounting tabs on the sides of the radiator?

Thanks

 

If you get an old enough Mustang radiator, it has steel mounting brackets on the side. (the main radiator is brass, the brackets are steel, soldered to the tanks) You should be able to mig or tig weld additional tabs onto the steel brackets.

 

if this is for your '27 a Mustang radiator might be to wide. I used about a '68 Mustnag radiator in a '47 coupe fat fender and fit great. Have Fun

 

The 64-66 Mustang/Falcon V8 3-row and 6cyl 2-row radiators have bulkhead style mounting flanges on each side. The radiator itself will fit inside the Model T and Model A radiator shells BUT the upper tank/core connection is visible because the shoulders of the tank are not sloped to fit inside the T/A shells AND the core sides are visible, more in the A than T. An insert grille of bars or mesh can lessen the obvious but never fully hide it.

The flanges can be trimmed to fit inside the shell and tabs for shell mounting and frame mounts can easily be made and mounted to them.

We had the upper inlet fitting on the radiator moved from the RH side to the LH side because he has an SBC in the Track Car and the alternator is on the RH side.

Oh yeah and they are cheapest at my last look from Auto Zone at about $135 or so.

 

Slightly different app but I hid a '64 Mustang 6 cylinder radiator behind my '32 grill. For the top I just made a simple piece of sheet metal to hide the top tank. I also built a piece of sheet metal for the back as well. Attached is a pic of it without a grill in the shell. I mounted the radiator to the frame like squirrel suggested. The grill shell has to be removed to check or add radiator coolant.

 

Greetings! You need to be careful which radiator you use, the six's had staggered radiator outlets, (upper on one side of car, lower on opposite side of car), the early V-8"s had both outlets on the same side of the car. This can cause you endless grief, a friend of mine build a mild 302 for his Fairlane but used the earlier 289 radiator, the car ran hot, he installed a fan shroud, finally an electric pusher fan, changed hoses, thermostat, coolent, the radiator was brand-new but he had it checked, pulled heads to replace gaskets and drill steam holes, finally installed expensive aftermarket heads, still ran hot, called manufacturer of heads who simply asked my friend if both radiator outlets were on the same side of the radiator, apparently what cools a 289 won't cool a 302, Good Luck, Mike
