Factory 302 Radiator help
Hi Guys,
I have a 1973 ford blue f100 with a 2brrl 302. I am trying to take the radiator out of it to be rodded. Its the original rad that seems to be in great condition no leaks. I am having a really tough time getting the transmission cooling lines off. I have used PB blaster since it had a little rust which is too be expected since its 40+ years old. But with two wrench, 2 hrs of waiting and brute force nothing budged.
I am sure I can get the rad core support bolts off, but I am almost to the point of clipping the lines and then just replacing them when I put the rad back. However, can I get at those lines without pulling the transmission?
