I have a friend who's car was done at Bad Donkee Hot Rods in Pa. I think they used that combo. They'd know.

When I put a diesel in my '47 truck, I used a champion aluminum radiator that was meant for a small block chev conversion to an early ford. It bolted right into the flathead radiator mount perfectly, but has one hose at the top and one on the bottom. Can't remember which side which, but it seemed to be very well made. About 225.00
