Y block radiator
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.

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.
