Like I said in the other thread, I cheaped out and bought the square top aluminum radiator. It came with an electric fan but I took that off. Only had to do 2 changes. I had to cut a relief on the passenger side flange for the battery box and had to remove the fan spacer. Other than that it is installed now.
I also bought a fuel sending unit and put my buddy's old gas tank in. I blew air through the fuel line and it didn't surprise me but the fuel line is rusted through about half way between fuel pump and tank. So next item is to replace fuel line and find the rubber gas hose to go between tank and filler neck.

Looks great. The low location of cap gives the rad its own expansion tank.
I may have to look at something like that. Im running the original tiny V6 copper rad for in mine, no leaks or real problems but,,,

If you had to remove fan spacer, you have good capacity
Always dig the yellow valve covers & breather on the '65. The star on the breather is pretty cool, too.
