Re: help me find a radiator
I went to a radiator shop and ordered one for my '69. People buy them from parts stores. If you're looking for a used radiator that will fit, get out your tape measure and start there.

Re: help me find a radiator
Modine makes a nice radiator for 60-66 with V8, and it has passages for your transmission cooler. It's a direct bolt-in, but you need to get a new upper radiator mount from a V8 truck, which is a bit different than the 6-cyl upper mount.
The V8 radiator sits up higher...it is wider, so sits on top of the frame rails instead of sliding down in between. |

Re: help me find a radiator
You can even go aluminum if you want. They sell them on E bay. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/eBay-Mot...0.l1313&_rdc=1 . If you get one.. Choose wisely

Re: help me find a radiator
Here's a photo of mine after I fabricated a shroud for my dual fans...I did move one of the lower saddles over a bit to clear the trans cooler port. My buddy in Phoenix is currently running one in his '66 with a performance 406 ci SBC and air conditioning that he drives everyday and has no issues in the AZ heat with the AC on.

Re: help me find a radiator
I have that summit radiator for my truck, only a bigger one. PITA to mock up. I am acually not going to use it and get one that just fits.

Re: help me find a radiator
I see some advertised as 60-62, and some 60-66, and some 63-66.
Isn't it the same radiator? Or atleast; won't they all fit?

Re: help me find a radiator
They will probably all fit, but the 60-62's I've seen all bolt to the grille support with side flanges, while the later versions rest in a saddle at the bottom and have a clamp holding the top tank in place. I'm not sure what year the design change was implemented.

Re: help me find a radiator
Thanks,
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I had a 62 in my 65.
