    Hi guys I am in the process of figureing out how to cool my 4.3 v6.
    I have a good shape OEM cj3a rad but the lower hose needs to be on the pass side. is there a conversion rad out there?? I guess i could have a shop change the lower hose to the pass side..any other swaps ??

    That is exactly what I would do.

    64 an 65 Mustang V8 rads have inlet and outlets on the passenger side. They cost about $125.00 on ebay. You'll have to make different mounts.

    The Mustang radiator fits great in a flattie. You will need to alter the front crossmember (the radiator is 20.25 inches tall by 17.375 wide). The PO of my '46 used a section of 3x3 angle as a lower cradle. The greatest benefit is the fact you can run down to your local autoparts store and pick one up for about $120.

    Sorry about the delay. Will do as soon as I get the flatty back from the exhaust shop, should be about a week at the rate he is going!
