    Will a radiator from a 73 Mav with a 302 motor work for my 1970 200 6 cylinder? What other Ford vehicles used the same radiator as the 1970 200 6 cyl?

    Should work fine. I'm not positive, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't.

    924, I just went through the I6 to V8 swap deal. I was using my I6 radiator for my V8 and all I had to do was slide the radiator to the passenger side about and inch so the fan blade would not hit the hose.


    To answer your question - yes it will work - but you may need to use the V8 TOP radiator hose to get it to work. Doing it that way will keep the hose plenty far away from the fan blade.

    i bought a 1968 ford mustang radiator from radiators.com... it was a 4 row.. and was like 186 bucks shipped.. works fine..

    an aluminim would be better.. and they have those for pretty cheap now a days

    Only difference is as stated. The radiator hose is in a different location. I put a 6cyl Maverick radiator in a 87 Mustang once. Was the same too.

    so was the 68 mustang radiator a bolt right in or were there mods you had to do to it. i still have the same I6 radiator in mine. i was wanting a 3 or preferably a row, how much space to the fan is there?
