Correct Radiator Yes or No 427 BB

[Christopher A.]

Does this radiator look correct for an April 1966 427 BB car? There isn't a tag attached to the radiator, but it does have Harrison and the fill instructions on the passenger tank. The top plate looks correct as far as the square and rectangular cut outs, but i am not sure about the ends of the top plate where they meet the tanks.

Chris,

I'm sure you'll hear from others but the radiator appears to be right or as you put it correct. Fan shroud and cap appear to be repros.

What hose is trapped under the passenger side dust flap?

Your radiator is different than mine and I believe that mine is the original to my 67.
Yours is missing 2 round holes and has more square holes than my radiator.

I'm not sure this is a '66 BB radiator, but it has the MK tag and the 2 square and 2 rectangular holes with no round holes. I'm posting the pictures because these ends look different. (I don't have a '66 JG. Hope this helps.)

-It's actually not my radiator, but i have the opportunity to buy it for cheap. However, the ends to not look correct. I think they should look like the ones in Bill's photo.

-My NCRS manual states that the holes did not come into play until after VIN 19,000 in 66, so that is why the earlier 66 radiators only have the square and rectangular cut outs.

-The hose sitting to the side is the overflow tube i think. The tube that is soldered into the fill cap is missing on this radiator.
