Re: 73-87 RADIATOR - will it fit
The 73-80 ones fit no problem. The 81-87 units are taller and require modifying the upper hold downs. I just welded a small spacer to the 67-72 upper retainer to make it fit the taller radiator.
The lower hose bung won't be angled up like stock, but a 73-87 hose works fine.

Re: 73-87 RADIATOR - will it fit
I found some pics I took of this mod. I used an 83 radiator in my 72. It was too tall. Everything fits fine, it's just taller. I used 3/4 inch angle iron to modify the stock 72 upper retainers. If you use a 73-80 radiator, no mods required at all.

You'll be fine with the sloped hood.
