Radiator - Will a 67-72 fit in a 66

Hi All,

On the final stage of my LS swap and now am at the point of considering a new radiator.

Current one is for a SBC and looks as if it will be more than fine for stage one of my build but I have seen an Ally rad with dual fans and the steam port for a very reasonable sum - issue being it is for a 67-72.

Hence my question, will a 67-72 rad fit in a 66.

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

P.

OK Gents,

As soon as I posted this found a site with all of the dimensions so, to answer my own question, no it will not fit!

What have others used in their LS swap into a 66?

I got mine from RND Fabrication, a sponsor on this forum (got a forum discount). I got inlet and outlet on the passenger side and a steam tube port.
Made my own fan shroud and electric fan.

I haven't ordered one yet but I will be using one of these:

or

I have a Superior LS swap radiator in my 51. It's worked great for years. Just not sure if I like the location of the transmission cooler lines on their 60-66 style.
