1970 Radiator

[nahledge]

Hey guys, well i'm in the process of getting a EB i purchased a few months ago on the road but i am having an issue as far as what radiator to buy. My oem radiator core blew out when i tried to get it flushed. So I went ahead and purchased an aluminum radiator for a 1970 bronco but the inlet and outlet water ports were reversed. Now I've seen broncos with both types of radiators. So my question is does it really matter which radiator i get or can they both be used so long as the proper radiator hoses are used?

I've seen them like this :



And mine is like this:

THE REVERSE in/outlet is for the later model EFI engines. Mustang **, etc. (top pic. is stock 302 set-up).

If you got hoses hooked up W/O kinks..should be good to go...

so i can run either radiator as long as the hoses are run properly without kinks?

"And mine is like this:"

I thought this pic was yours already hooked up...?

"so i can run either radiator as long as the hoses are run properly without kinks?"

-----In theory yes...but ideally., you should have the correct rad. in order to install/replace hoses W/O "Rube-Goldberging" the system. Meaning "stock" hoses for this veh. & eng. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
