I'm getting rid of the undersized radiator from the wagon and putting a 3 row brass/copper 26" in its place. Trimmed the rh baffle, put some nutserts in 3 holes where I could fit the tool. Wrap it up tomorrow. The shroud is a restoration piece for 67-9 with 26" unit. But it doesn't fit this radiator. Then I remembered that the manufacture stated that this radiator also fits a 66-70 C body. I went ahead and mowed off the mounting studs and will some mounting for the shroud I have. Grab the C body one down the road. The pullies don't have the right ratio. Crank is 5.5" or so and the pump is 6.75". Get some proper sized pullies later too so the pump speeds up. The PO put an eBay? radiator in it which is way undersized even over the standard 22" one. Cut the shroud down to fit the radiator then bent the fan blades to fit that. No wonder it doesn't do well in slow traffic.
