240 radiator to 302 radiator comparison

Post by 67 ford f100s rule »

Is the 240 radiator the same as the 302 radiator?? I know that the 240 is a straight 6 and the 302 is a V8. Will they interchange?

yes/ no. the 6 cyl radiator is narrower than the 302 radiator. the core support for the 6 cyl radiator can be cut out to use the 302 radiator though. but you cant do it the other way around. it wont be larger enough fo rthe enigne to handle. the enigne will always run hot with a smaller radiator in a 302.
