Hey folks,
Im getting ready to swap out the six for the 302. I'm curious if anyone has a picture or knows the location where I need to weld on the new radiator mounts? I have not reference. Thanks

If I remember right it's in the same location but they extend lower. I tried a few different radiators and have had the best luck with the bc 3-core. It's cooling a 351w.

Make sure you order the mounts and the U-clamps too. I just did a swap, forgot to order the u-clamps and didnt want to wait 7 days to get them. I had to make some.

The vendors have the correct brackets to weld on.

When my friend helped me put my new radiator in we just mocked it up and tacked the brackets in a couple of times until we got everything situated.
Just allow enough clearance for the frame on the bottom and not too high to bump the hood.
