try another rad shop, they still make them!
you may have to order one for a 66-67 with automatic tranny.

one of mine has some sort of dodge rad. in it, put there by p.o. looks perfect and bolted in.

C3DZ-8005-K .. Radiator (dearbornclassics # RA-103)

Fits: 1960/65 Falcon/Comet & 1965/66 Mustang. This is the V8 radiator used with or without a/c, but fits without mods on the 6's. The radiator core supports are identical where the radiator mounts. The 1963/65 Falcon & 1965/66 Mustang V8 metal 2 piece fan shroud (identical part numbers for both) also works (if junkyarding for the parts, don't forget the shroud clips, there are 4 of them). This was the only shroud used at that time.
