*Actually a radiator question !*
I bought a 68-73 style timing cover (p/n TCC6) from CJ Pony with bolt on timing pointer to use on the '99 5.0 I'm installing in my '65. I have a Ford Racing standard rotation water pump, but the outlet is on the wrong side for '65 !
--Can anyone suggest which p/n Summit radiator they are using ? Looking at this one :

Trying to pick a radiator to match. Has anyone used a standard 68-69 3 row and had the outlet relocated ? Thanks !

Edelbrock makes one. Click here to view it on Summit. Same unit I put on my 68 with late model block and early timing cover. Just curious, are you using mechanical fuel pump or electric?

jcade, I'm using mechanical fuel pump. I actually edited my post ! Decided to use the pump I have, but I'm gonna go ahead and upgrade my radiator (need to anyway) to the drivers side outlet. Thanks

Why not get the correct regular waterpump for that year? It should be a bolt-on, and will hide your 5.0 even further.

Take care. I tried that, but my accessories brackets (March) would no longer work with tha late water pump. When all was said and done, I switched water pumps to passenger side outlet, upgraded radiator (but kept pass. side outlet) and used the March pulley/brackets I had. If you order up the right bracket/pulley configuration, you'll be okay.

I already have the new Ford Racing pump, and need to upgrade the radiator anyway. I alos don't want to use a cast iron pump. It should work fine, just gotta find the correct radiator. I've read where some of you guys bought the universal rads for less than $200. I don't mind a little fab work !
