Which radiator to use?

[meteor]

Here's the setup, 302SBF swap, waterpump with a driver side inlet so I can run the alternator low on the passenger side.

1. Should I buy a new crossflow radiator? not keen on the 'modern' look of these.
2. Will a stock 57 V8 rad fit in a 6cyl. rad support?
3. If I use the stock 57 6cyl. radiator and a pass. side waterpump inlet, will the alternator interfere with the rad hose?

thanks

They Look like Stock style Radiators to me.   Iv'e had outlets changed  sides for me at my local radiator shops it shouldn't be an issue.

I just realized that there was a different rad used on the 57 V8 cars. Both my Ranchero and Ranch Wagon were 6 cyl. cars so I figured all the rads were the same.

Interesting that you had the outlets reversed, maybe that is the way to go.

thanks!

I've always had stock Radiators, with enough rows and in good condition. No problems even with
big motors..
