Radiator support question
I've checked the master parts/accessories catalog, but can't find this info. What is the difference (I'm assuming there is one) between the 6 cyl. and 8 cyl. radiator supports? Does the V-8 support have a larger opening, for the larger radiator?
I'm planning on going Monday to take a look at one a guy has, but I don't want to get the wrong one. Anyone who would happen to have the opening measurements would be much appreciated!

Engine size has nothing to do with it.

C7TZ16138B .. Radiator Support / Use with Super Cooling Radiator / Obsolete
FRED GRANDE FORD in Richmond MI has ONE = 586-727-3415.
No other Ford Dealer, no obsolete parts vendor has any.

Since the dimensions of the Super Cooling Radiator are larger than the other radiators, the opening radius of the radiator support is larger.
Radiator (basic part number 8005) = TEXT, Section 80, Page 9.
Super Cooling Radiator: 26 1/4" wide x 24 1/8" high x 1 3/4" thick.
Standard Radiator: 26 1/4" wide x 19 3/4" high x 1 3/4" thick.

Okay, thanks Bill. Tried to find it on the cd, but didn't see that. I'll take another look. I wanted to make sure the I-6 and V-8 supports were different, since I'm going from an I6 to a 390. Hopefully the one this guy has is in decent shape.

It has nothing to do with the size of the engine.
If the 240/300/302/352/360/390 engine has the Super Cooling radiator, the radiator support's opening radius is larger.
