On a 67 230 fintail what is the easiest way to change the radiator? Will it come out the front of the car or must it come out the engine side? It would be a lot easier out the front not having to remove the belts and clutch fan...thanks..

Its been awhile, but remember the 111 radiator as pulling straight up for removal, attached at the side rails with 9mm bolts.... no mysterious shroud or anything to get in the way.

Greasing or oiling the rails makes removal / installation easier.... and automatic / standard shift radiators are NOT interchangable - auto tranny radiator will overheat in standard shift car.

Don't you have to remove the radiator to get at the clutch fan?




Welcome 67 Fintail.
