NOS Radiator for 73 351c 'vert w/ A/C

[73vertproject]

For some reason, I replaced most of the underhood stuff, and thought that the radiator would be OK. Not unexpectedly, while breaking in the newly rebuild Cleveland cool: ) the mist of antifreeze on the windshield, along with the puddling of it along the fins of the rad after stopping, indicate that the $150 or so investment should have been undertaken when I replaced the rest of the engine accessories.

Any suggestions - I've done the Google thing with some results, but I need a radiator that has the lower clamps that the AC cooler slides into.

Doc, a/c condenser does NOT touch the radiator

Condenser bolts to the front of the core support

Get a good 3 core rad - summit racing has new alum ones

Be cautious of the drop in replacement from Griffin. Bottom neck is at an angle. I did not like the angle it put on my hose so I removed mine and had it rewelded.

Thanks for the tip, Roy!

Could a radiator shop fix the current one? Do radiator shops still exist?

I had mine boiled out and fixed for $65. It was in pretty bad shape. Can't beat new though.
