I picked-up lower and upper hoses and a really nice, used fan shroud.
The shroud is an AMC Jeep unit, so the hose locations are a little different than the AMC car shroud. Some creative cutting, trimming and sanding made it a nice fit.
I drilled the radiator flanges and mounted the modified shroud. The hoses have plenty of clearance, and the transmission cooler line fitting looks like it will clear nicely.
After draining the system, I pulled the old hoses off and was able to get the anti-collapse spring out of the old lower. The old Trans-line fittings are larger on the new Rad, so it's off the the parts store to source new fittings.
Just curious as to what you used for the transmission oil cooler lines. I am building a 77 Hornet and she is in desperate need of new lines. I ordered the same radiator as you. Did you ever get the fittings? If so, where did you source them from? I am having a heck of a time getting something that will work. Thanks!
