Thanks

comet 75

You can use the I6 rad. I f yours is scrap I think you can order a new rad stock replacepent. I went w/ an aluminum Griffin, had to weld in my own brackets. You can get hoses that have different sizes on each end. hope this helps some. ill see if I can get you more info. Thom

 

but a stock rad with stock 302 came with different size??

 

Comet I couldn't see any difference in the 2 radiators...I'm running the one from the I-6 70 model with no probs to this point

 

does someone know a place where I can get hoses for V8 engine to fit my comet 1975??

 

Local auto parts store has them. Mine were about $10 each.

A 170 & 200 cid I6 uses the same radiator. A 250 & 302 use the same radiator. A 250/302 radiator had bigger inlets for your hoses. It is also my understanding (heresay) that it has more flues to cool the larger displacement. Hopes this helps........

 

Thanks guys
