Tweet

Any one have an idea on a radiator to cool a mild 283 chevy that will fit in a model A shell. Junkyard stuff,can't afford a Walker! Thanks for any input.

Early mustang.---do a search , this has been covered many times in this forum.

This thread by Brian got be going on my the raditaor for my 29 tudor. I built a frame from J channel that I cut from rectangular steel. Bought a 65 Mustang V8 rad from a Canadian source $250 CDN delivered with cap. Pic one is the frame with hardware cloth covering opening. Pic 2 is frame without hardware cloth but rad installed. Pic 3 is the complete setup with shell. My rad installs from read where looks like Brian's goes in from front. Interestingly I found on another forum where someone had an old useless A rad and spent some time cutting out the rear 2 rows and part of tanks to use as frame for a Mustang rad and front would look like original A rad.
