Engine swapping and general refreshing

[bubba22349]

In the below link you can see how Ford built a one off 1970 Maverick show car "The Mavi GT" to give the public an idea of what could be accomplished with a mildly built 250 six and Tri power. With the shorter deck 200 it wouldn't need much of a scoop if any. The Offy Tri power set up fits in under the low hood of the 1965 & 1966 Mustangs with only a little work see second video for info of how one of our site members did it. Good luck

Yeah I just need to measure and check. The mustang it came from didn't have hood clearance issues, so it might work.

Any ideas what adaptor is needed from the transmission cooling line to the radiator?

 

[chad]

is there a female threaded bung (hole) in the radiator? or duz it have a lill male fitting there?

there's one.
U may need to usea brake line style flair tool after sliping a fitting over whatever line U have now.
/OR/
are U talkin abt another seperate cooler?

 

[72maverick]

I need another male adaptor. The radiator has a female. I guess I should be able to take the adaptor to a parts store and match it, right? I assume they stock them

 

[chad]

do U havea fitting on the 'transmission line: side right now?
If not U need a flair tool' or to take the whole line off'n bring it to some1 who slides it on the line, then flairs it, so U can slide it down & thread it on that fitting U show at the radiator...

The automotive big box stores who have car prts often lend out flair tools as well - DIY.
Just deposit the cost of the tool, do the wrk, return 4 ur $ back

Oh wait. I C the pic again. Won't the one there now thread on?
I looks as if last guy just switched out the last prt (hada flair tool). U can do that
or the lill nerl (a ball inside. This is called a 'compression fitting'). I didn't know those
were good enuff for tranny lines.

Looks like your missing one of the cooling line adapter fittings on the bottom of the radiator. This is a Iron pipe thread going into the radator I think it's a 1/8 inch the other end that mates to the cooling line is a standard flare fitting,same as a fuel line. Take your one fitting to a good hardware or auto parts store and match it up Best of luck

Ah ok a compression fitting is what I need. I just need the one, just had no idea where to look. Thanks

Haven't heard if them? And yes, assembly rotates and torqued just find with a longer bolt ( thanks everybody)

Just redoing the cooling line since I messed up the one on there when pulling the engine.
