    I'm putting a 302 in my 70 maverick and I need a new radiator because mines messed up. I was wandering If I have to put a maverick radiator in the car or if something else would work.Thanks

    If you want it to look original with large tanks go with a 20" 1970 Mustang repop.

    No it bolts right in. I did notch the cross member to allow more clearance for the petcock drain. (y)
