thanks guysgood timing, I was wondering what I'd use on my 65 B. did anyone use the universal mounting kit? who used the rad in a swap from a /6 in an early B body and did you have to modify anything in the core support?

65, I'm also doing a 65 Belv. 1

You beat me to the question

I'm watching this topic like a hawk
One stop shopping info.

Cool kruger nothing like the lines on the B-1's,eh?
us "early B" guys gotta stick together, or we'll be overrun by the "E boys"

Jim

I found this 65BelJim.

I just looked at RVA's pic again,
Its not these brackets.

I'll wait for replie and what he used to mount it.

Good to see ya all taking advantage of the sale price! I used this rad on my 69 rr also with an auto and used a b&m supercooler if anyone is wondering what to do if they have an auto... never had a problem. Of course I got a 4 speed now, so it saves me buying one

I haven't done the bottom mounts yet, I plan on making them sunday(OH it's midnight) today.
but it looks like I will take a small piece of angle alum and mount it to the lower part of the radiator and there are 2 hole in the lower radiator pan(on the car) that i can bolt it to.
I will take some pics of the pieces and post them when I get it done. Ron...

Yeah, this post is at teh perfect time!!!!! I took my 68 Satellite for a ride yesterday after alligning it and smelled a little antifreeze. I got home to discover there is a hairline crack right under the upper hose inlet , time to make another Summit purchace!!!! One Summit radiator here I come!!!!!


Butch

I did mine similar to those posted but I used the universal brackets for the bottom mount on my 66 Satellite. When I purchased the rad it included the universal mounts as a package deal. I high mounted it making sure there was clearance when the hood was closed. I didn't have a easy spot to mount the bottom flange to but the universal kit had j brackets and a sticky back rubber insulator tape that holds the rad tank snug in the bracket and it worked out pretty well for my situation. I used 1/4 20 screws lockwashers and nuts along with some aluminum tubing from the local hardware store to finish it off on the top mounts. Also got the hoses from advanced auto that are mentioned earlier and a B&M supercooler. I attached pics for the top and bottom. Hope they help...

Bottom j bracket from the Summit universal kit...

Thanks for the pics Gary,
I was stareing at the universals in the summit pic
Scratching me head how they went on.

Ron,
Does it look like you'll be able to bolt the bottom?

( 440, Nice Satellite )

excellent pics, thanks Gary! Looks like the universal kit will work for me. I'm still curious if there is a major difference in the radiator opening area of the support structure, /6 vs. V8.
Jim

Jim,
Mine was a /6 its a 440 now with a radiator out of a 70 BB Car..

No difference in the opening.

well I got the bottom brackets made and they seam to be strong enough, I pushed on the radiator very hard and nothing moved.

here are some pics of the lower bracket and the holes that were in the lower pan. Ron...

I have more pics if anyone need them.....

Outstanding... Thanks Ron, Gary.

nice job! thanks Ron

thanks for the info kruger, I'm going the same route...440 in an ex-/6. are you using an auto or 4 speed? I'm going with a 727, I have had the thrill of a 450hp 4 speed wheel lifting ride besides, I'm tired of shifting
Jim
