Radiator Install

This took longer than it should have due to the awkward position of the bolt hole relative to the radiator and the radiator support bracket.  I had to tape the heads of the bolts to the support bracket and float the radiator onto the bolts because I couldn't hold back-up on them.  Frustrating.






I have made two trips to the auto parts store to find radiator hoses, but am still struggling with the lower.  Engine swaps are usually like this, but the combination of the Ford 302 lower water pump outlet, the aftermarket aluminum radiator, and the relatively high 1956 radiator position compared to newer vehicles are proving to be a difficult combination.
