Plug and play :) Did I mention they make these fans for every year Mustang up to 70
The Fan is 3 1/16th thick if you need to know for your application.
Those are 4 rubber flaps you see so the air can pass through the radiator at the corners to assist in air flow completely. This is HIGH quality with caution stickers not shown.

As a side note:You can see the Ron Morris Lower conversion tube for a serpentine kit with a standard passenger side radiator in out. This was my desired application as to not worry about lower tube innerspring or collapsing issues.
Also shown is a new 3G Alternator conversion with a PA Performance Regulator dummy to keep the use of my Alt warning lamp with a 3G Alternator. Not clearly pictured is the 4 Gage 200Amp. Power Link Fuse from PA Performance to protect my electrical system.
 
I'm gonna dredge this up from the dead cause I'm still going after a 210*-220* idle temp. The next step is gonna be play with the timing and idle. I wouldn't be surprised if the idle is not allowing enough coolant to flow. Who knows. Anyway, I've seen a radiator similar to this for the 65-66 with opposite side outlet. Basically the fluid would flow from the bottom left side of the radiator to the wp making it a "crossflow". I'm thinking I'd like that. Problem, I cannot for the life of me find a hose to accomodate this. Anybody know of one or am I stuck with having one made?
 
Duane I made my own upper hose out of silicone tubbing. You could make yours the same way with two 90 degree elbows and one 45 degree elbow. In turn the elbows would be connected with connector inserts, The silicone is very hard and I am sure collapsing would not be a problem. I google around for Silicone racing tubing or combination of similar words.

But... the cost would be the same or close the just buying the Ron morris Tube.

...there is a good chance I have mis understood your question because I am falling asleep.
 
Yes I think it is too. That is why I found the best bargain with the best fit. My motivation was having my orriginal engine over heat and put me where I am spending 10K on the while I am at it. I spent a few more bucks for peice of mind. I think a stock radiator would have been fine but it would only have been some what cheaper. The electric fan was a must for me. I sat in stopped traffic the other day on one of my first drives since my almost complete restore and I never saw the needle move out of the 1/3 position. The electric fan kicks in when I sit and kicks off when I drive and I am pretty sure it might, MIGHT give me a few cents of gas savings. The 3 G was the most costly part not needed , but again I wanted extra juice for piece of mind. John is right though. A good stock set up will work just fine so do not think you have to keep up with the neighbors. It looks cool though. So does a Mustang :)
 
You know what chaps my arse....my youngest son! When we were building the '56 Cheby pickup in the sig pic, he took the old 350 radiator to have it checked out and came home with a brand new in the freakin' box "Be Cool" radiator for the grand total of ...drum roll please....$100. Yep, the guy was getting rid of his stock and gave it to him for that price. I just hate people that do this....lol ... at least when I"m not on the receiving end...lol. :dh :cry
