Radiator for 68 Restomod

[TrickStang37]

ok, posted earlier about a 9" swap for my 68 earlier, i think i got enough information for now on that, thanks a bunch. well, onto another subject, will a radiator from 87-93 Mustang work on a 68 mustang? I will be throwing in the EFI motor (in sig). Its a nice aluminum radiator/electric fan combo, so i would prefer if I could keep it instead of selling it with the car and losing that $$. hopefully its doable, i did a search and found someone said they did it in their 66 but was hoping i'd get some reassurance for the 68.

What are the dimensions of that rad? All I know is that my griffin direct fit barely fits, a taller rad would hit the hood

ok, im back. the fox body radiator is 2 3/4" thick X 19 3/4" tall X 30" wide. So no, it wont fit, unless i notch the frame. looks like the widest that will fit is 27". the width and height is fine.

unless others have some info that i dont know nabout, there it is. anybody have an aluminum radiator to trade for a 68 Mustang for my fox body aluminum radiator?
