Grill shell and rad

[Francis Blake]

Just bought a new mustang rad from auto zone and a model a grill shell from speedway and they wont fit together, rad is to wide. Is there a modification I can make or do I need a bigger grill shell?

Thanks for the response, I just checked the number on my recite and it's the wrong stock number according to their web site.I will check with the store.I just checked the box and it's the wrong one. Thanks for the help.

So what year/model mustang did you get a rad for? I am in the market for one shortly.

The 1966 mustang radiator fits the model a grill shell perfectly. Several guys on here use that combo.

The mustang rad 21 inches tall from the top to bottom of the tanks, it is 19 3/4 from the edges of the mounting flanges, and both outlets are on the left side (drivers). Hope this helps.

You can also order them with the Chevy outlets,top in center 1 1/4 and bottom 1 1/2 on the right side but the filler neck is offset to left side, not in the center.

You wouldn't happen to have the part# for that radiator with the chevy outlets, would you?
