Help indentifying this radiator in my 65 K Code
« on: April 17, 2019, 05:22:27 PM »
This radiator is in my early feb 65 San Jose K Code project.
The car was recently removed from a 30 year plus slumber and a lot of items had been changed out by a previous owner.
Wondering if this might be the original. Any help appreciated.
Side bracket is marked DEP C4ZE 8005 Y 1 4JB

I thought San Jose cars had the debossed stamping on the tank. Dearborn has the straps stamped. Correct me if I am wrong

It's a good possibility this is not original to the car as lots of things are wrong on the car. Just trying to figure it out.

I believe your mustang has had a radiator change somewhere in its previous life

The side straps ,top tank and engineering number stamped on the side straps indicate the radiator came from a plant back east and not SJ. A lot of highly visible ques.

Any thoughts on what this radiator is OE for?

It's for a Dearborn built, 1965 Mustang, 289, M/T, no A/C, and "possibly" for a 64 (the "Y1").

Or a Metuchen. 4JB date code is Sept 1964 which would put it in the ‘65 model year probably October-November

Metuchen didn’t start production until February of 65. So doubtful it would belong to a metuchen car.
