Topic: wanted 67 san jose 289 auto radiator

[67gta289]

Looking for an original W-MO radiator as stated, requiring a re-core is ok.

I picked up the one pictured in haste.  Was posted as a 67 small block radiator, but is a nominal 24" wide instead of 20".  Has the W-MO stamping, and FoMoCo, but no part numbers to be found.  The price was right, though.

So in addition to wanting the aforementioned radiator, I'm also wanting for information as to the applicability to what I purchased.  Any help in that regard would be appreciated.  Nominal height of fins is 16".  If this is a big block Mustang radiator, I'm in good shape.  If not, oh well.

Top tank and markings appear to be consistent with what San Jose used in 67

A big block radiator would have the lower outlet on the Driver side, this one is passenger, so I think you have a 1968 small block SJ radiator.
The 1967 Big Block used a 22" radiator, not the 24" like the 1968-1970 used.
With October 1967 date,
I'm thinking it is from a 1968 San Jose, Mustang or Cougar 289(leftovers, not sure if SJ had any 289s left)/302 with extra cooling option or A/C.
The 1968  289/302's with extra cooling would have a 24", but I think only 2 row while the big blocks were 3. (That I'm not positive of, I think the 1969's with 390/428 had a 3 row, not sure if 3 rows started in 1968.)
