I'm running one, they are made by Northern. They are good quality, easy to mount, and cool really well. I have no complaints whatsoever.

I think it was a 19x27, I used some molded hoses. The nice people at Napa let me go to the back and look at all the hoses, I found a set that works perfect. Its pretty easy to make the mounts, just get some 1/8"x 1.5" flat stock, put a 90* bend in it and drill some bolt holes. Make sure to put a piece of rubber between the radiator and anything it contacts, as the aluminum will wear away if its constantly rubbing/vibrating against anything. Its real easy to do the swap, just dig in and do it.

Get a northern 5137 or whatever the equiv is for 65/66 - have a look at my site for pics. Summit may be able to order one for you.

i second every word that 302 coupe said. my install went the same way. i changed the handing of my water pump since i needed to replace it anyway and i think i used hoses meant for a 70 cougar 351c? one thing i would like to go back and re-do is stiffen the mounts by welding on some bracing, but i put a lot of bends in my aluminum flat stock to hold it in there.
