I'm putting in a 302 and AOD in my 54 and was wondering what radiator will bolt in that has a built-in trans cooler? My good running 256 Y Block and AT will be for sale.

I'll bet you would get an answer if you were putting a newer or larger y-block in front of that AOD.

Take a look at the '67-'69 Mustang radiator. Looks like it is almost a bolt in. Auto City Cassics also has new aluminum radiator that is a bolt in, I used this when I put an AOD behind my 292. Or, take a look at Champion Radiators on Ebay. Should be able to find something.

You might want to reconsider using a 302 in a car as heavy as your 54, these engines were designed for light weight vehicles and don't live up to expectations in heaver vehicles.

I disagree - this swap has been done many times in 50's Fords with much success performance wise Lou (10/16/2017)
