does anybody know which radiator I can use for a track t nose if I am not using the hood. and I want the radiator to fit in the nose? preferably a junkyard one? will a mustang one fit, anybody have luck with this?

If the radiator is inside the nose then why does hood or no hood matter? If you're just buying a Speedway nose then I would suggest asking them what works - pretty sure Mustang fits basic Deuce and Model A dimentions which is prob. what they'll reccomend anyway. If you're building your own track nose my suggestion would be to try to find your radiator first and build the nose to suit. You could go the other way but I ran into problems. Track noses are kind of a one off/make it your own sort of deal so there will be lots of right answers to this question.

I have decided to design my shell and tube radiator to resemble a "Moon" tank.

You can find radiator dimensions,and details like outlet sizes,on Napaonline.com or Radiator.com

There is no perticular size for a track T nose.

You can make the nose to fit your Rad,
or try to find a Rad to fit your nose.

Napaonline or Radiator.com gives the core size only - I found no one who listed an overall size.

core 16 1/2" x 17 1/4" x 1 1/2" 3 row

fill on left

radiator.com wanted $110,Napa was $177
