RADIATOR ?'s
I need to buy an aluminum radiator, I see some on e-bay for 64-66, will these work in my 62? I didn’t think there were any differences between the years under the hood, so why not list them from 60-66? Also which should I use push fan or pull? I would think logic would tell me to use push, but was just wondering.
Thanks Guys. |

Re: RADIATOR ?'s
X2 puller fans are more efficient. If you're going to switch to an aluminum radiator, go with a crossflow radiator like the summit universal ones. That is a more efficient design as well. Chiefrocka did a nice write up on this in his build thread.

Re: RADIATOR ?'s
I know on my 60 the later rads will not just bolt in. Im sure your 62's radiator bolts to the radiator side support as the 60's dose.
If your 62 dosnt have a lower radiator support , you can fab one up. Check out Chief's build he used an aluminum radiator from summit racing
