70 Radiator in 65 Mustang

[4MuscleMachines]

I have an opportunity to pick up a new 70 Mustang Becool radiator and dual 11" fan unit at a good price. I am aware I have to enlarge the opening in the rad support and remove the battery so that it will fit. My question is what brackets do I need to use and which work best to mount the rad and dual 11" fans in the 65? Here is a quick link which shows all the bracket choices for the radiator and fans.

I found the pic below and I cannot seem to find those fan brackets.

I think the stock lowers will work fine. As for the top, just bend some sheetmetal and build a simple bracket that bolts to the stock place.

I would recomend putting some rubber between the bracket and the radiator. Other wise the vibration and dissimilar metals equal problems

are you sure the inlet and outlet will work with your motor?
mine are on the oposite sides,
inlet on top , pass side
outlet on bottom, driver side.

If the hoses are correct , id do what ever you have to do to get it to bolt in, its a nice set up. Shouldnt be too dificult.

Mine is just like yours, that pic is just for reference (and not a good one at that). Here is a pic of the actual unit, it looks pretty big. BTW, I found the brackets in a kit if anybody else is thinking of doing the same thing. Pricey but they mount it right.

I found the 70 Mustang Becool on Ebay brand new for $300 shipped, and the Spal dual fan unit for $180 shipped. Much easier to swallow than the $970 unit from Rons Radiator shop.

He's right tho... if it really is a radiator for a 70, then the inlets and outlets will be in the wrong spot for your 65.

OK, I just checked the 65 and my top inlet is passenger side and outlet drivers side. So I am ok, I was sweating there for awhile.

That's a huge rad. What size motor are you cooling?

Those brackets are pretty pricey. You could buy some stock aluminum from http://www.metalsdepot.com/ and fab your own for under 25 dollars.
