Need right radiator for 69 w/89 5.0

69coupe · 12-30-2002, 01:23 PM

Have an 89 5.0 in a 69 coupe that I just bought but had nt radiator. I just sent back a repo 69/302 radiator because the water inlet at the top was right in front of the fan blade. HELP! I didnt do this conversion and cant seem to find a thread in the archives. Does anyone know about this mod?
Thanks 69Coupe

What fan is on it the factory fan was dinky and didn't come any where close to the outlets... If it is the reverse rotation factory 89 plastic fan i would would recomend taking it off and putting on electric.

Any radiator shop can reposition the inlet (top) or outlet (bottom)

They do make a serpentine water pump that dumps to the right also. Have one on my old Bronco.
