I'm pretty certain a few of you have put a 67-68 radiator in a 65. How much fabrication is required? Does it require a lot of cutting to fit it? I ask because I'm looking at a Be Cool kit, but they only make the kit starting with 1967. If I can make it work with out a ton of headache, I'd like to. What about the water pump? Thanks.
 
I'm looking to cool a 331 stroker. Be Cool doesn't seem to make a 65-66 specific. Just a 67 on up. So, if it's not to much hassle, I wanted to just go with their 67 kit in my 65 FB.

Good question, does a 67 rad. cool better than a 65-66. I have a 4 core in it right now, but want the aluminum look plus the electric fan. Hence the Be Cool kit.
 
yea, i almost overheated here this weekend ( NOR CAL ) it was in the 100's and my car was not liking it one bit, even with the heater on i was still going up. so, does this rad fit well without putting the batt in the trunk?? cause i could definatly use some more cooling power and an elec fan..
