What radiator and hoses is the best to use with crossflow into 65 Mustang?
I still have the original 65 I6 radiator.
 
First of all, I doubt your original radiator will cope with the 250ci crossflow and the hose connects are too small, so maybe ditch that, the best Ive found is the XY type 2 row radiator, this will have the correct size house connections for your crossflow, the standard bottom hose from an XY might fit, top hose from an XE may, fit, trial and error Im afraid. This shows my fitting up, but might not suit you, I run the fan on the front side. I run a EWP so my bottom setup is totally different.

the best I've found is the XY type 2 row radiator,
How much if any mods did you have to do to the radiator support housing?
Can you recommend model and year for your radiator?

Thanks again!!!
 
I would look at an aftermarket radiator and then you may want to consider Copperflex hose that I sell. If you can fit an EWP look at Davies Craig.

I did open it up and drill new mounting holes, XY is 71, but as "cool23" said if your in Victoria you could approach "aussie desert coolers" for something custom for you. I run an electric fan and EWP, but as you can see mine is much modified.RIMG0310.JPG_PEN4455.JPG
