Radiator

[Blackwaterforge]

I have a 66 ford F-250.
I would like to upgrade to a larger radiator.
I have a stock ford 2 row 6 cylinder radiator.
Is the radiator for a 352 a three row?
I want to stay with a stock ford radiator.
Will a radiator from a later model truck with a 460 fit a 66?
Thank You!

I have a 78 strandard cool 460 radiator in my 66 since I have the 460 everything bolted right in, The only thing I can see with the 6 cyl you may need to get hoses with different sizes on the ends.

There are multiple options and sizes for the 352. The best / largest is the 3 row. Not sure if the mounting is the same (though I notice summit lists it as compatible with the f250). Advance is running a nice deal (ends today) on the readyrad all metal 3 row, they already have the best price I can find for a 3 row even without the deal. Search for 433480. The discount code is at the top of their main page (holiday weekend special) Hope this helps and best of luck!

As to mounting, it's easy to redrill the radiator flange. I just swapped a new-used 240 into my '66. When I went to reinstall my radiator, I found the PO had mounted it too high and too far to one side... I have no idea what my radiator came out of, only that it's in great shape and works well. I held it where I wanted it, made some marks, and after a little judicious drill work, bolted it in where it should be. I used so-called unuiversal hose on the top, and a factory Ford hose on the bottom. Both needed a little trimming, but they're holding up well.

I don't think the 2 row will cook enough, I went thru similar when my 361 fe always ran on the hot side 200-210 and I tried every trick I could think of then I checked the rad and it was a 2 row. I put in the correct 3 row and it's 180 max. Tom

Thanks guys!
I think a 3 row for a 352 is what I need.
