Johnny, alot of these guys have used the old Mustang radiators, myself I use the 32 Ford radiator cause I like the 32 grille look. Not to sure as what year on the Mustangs either, sure someone will answer quickly. Lot of good info here

'65-'66 Mustang will work. There should be a thread or two about it. make sure to get the one for the V8. Should run about $140 at most auto parts stores.

Just picked one up in November. It's a '66 Mustang rad, and yes you need the 289 V-8 version. Got it at Auto Zone for $140....Fred knows his stuff.

Thanks guys for the quick response. There is no problem with the inlet and outlet for the chevy engine, right?

Sorry to take so long to get back, I was storing the rad at our warehouse. Just picked it up today. I bought mine on the advice from the guys on this site. It does fit into my metal rad shell nicely however the filler cap is off center. For mounting tabs, they are on the sides, to be mounted in the mustang. To figure how all this goes together and gets mounted to the frame will require input from the experts here. Hopefully someone can come to our rescue.
You may want to take note that somewhere along the line Ford moved the lower
outlet to the opposite side of the top outlet. I know one should read inlet,
but you get the idea. Both models are available. You can get a 3 and 4 flue
out of some of the Mustang suppliers.

I don't think that one would cool good enough. I'd use the one for the v-8 Mustang, or one of the aluminum ones from Superior.
