I just picked up a 51 F3 someone had changed the engine out to a Y block The radiator had been taken. I am hoping some one can point me in the right direction. I can find one for the flat head just not sure what will fit the Y block and truck.

 

THERE Is a flathead radiator at npd in Ocala,Florida for 100.00
I have a yblock radiator from a 56 f100 that is a spare. Pm me you want.

 

I just got a new one for my 1950 flathead V8 F2 from LMC Truck. I'm not sure of the difference F2 - F3 Y head. I'm sure some here knows. The cost was $299 vs $585 for a recore locally.

 

I have a y block radiator for a 239 1954.I used it for my 351 until June when I replaced it with a alum,one,It is in good shape with no leaks .I had a shop test it and they said it had been recored at some point.$50 and shipping will get it .

 

Be mindful that the Y block has single intake and outlet where the flat head has double intake and outlets. If memory serves me, the flat head radiators have smaller inlet/outlets. A radiator should not be that hard to fit as you have a lot of room. Get the largest capacity you can find.

 

Maybe call 1-800-radiator and tell them the size you need, and see what the have?

They have OE types, but you can get a cheap plastic one with a lifetime warranty for $80ish
