Stop in for a cup of coffee

You have done your homework!
That was the Cliff notes version.
You guys want more, let me know. My car started as 6. When I swapped in the v-8, back then it wasn't hard to walk into the parts store and find some hose that matched up with the existing radiator. Then in the while checking timing while waiting our turn in the lanes, the clutch and fan caught the core and top tank. That was round one (for the radiator) I already had a couple passes in.
