Radiators?
I am in need to replace the radiator in my 1979 Ford Bronco 400/c6. and plan on installing a 429ci somtime this year so i want one that can handle the dutys of cooling off a 429ci. but they dont have a 429/460 radiator listed for a bronco. So I was woundering if a 1979 F-Series radiator for a 460 bolt up to my bronco? so i dont waste my money to keep the 400 cool then months later have to find one to cool a big block.

Radiators?
I have a 69 f-100 that used to have a 360 low compression engine in it. It now has a 390 out of a 69 galaxie. I went to a local shop to have the radiator rebuilt and happened to see a big ford truck radiator in his shop and had him rebuild it with the brackets welded to the side (Or maby brazed)so that it sat at about the same height, maby a little higher.
Anyway it is at least an inch wider and about four inches longer and I just drilled new holes in the brackets and it went in fine
even the old fan shroud on it. Well thats what I did.
