    I have a Ford 5000 tractor radiator that I'm going to use in my '28-'29 grill shell to cool my 59AB flatty.

    Can anyone tell me the size and spacing of the inflows from the water pumps at the top tanks of the radiator and the outflows at the bottom tank so I can bring said radiator to the shop and have the modifications done?

    Thanks,

    Andy

    The top outlets are 11" on center w/1.25 outlets. I always put a hose spacer on the top thermostat outlet so I can run a 1.50 hose to the radiator connection. The bottoms are 13" on center & are 1.75 hose out lets.
