    Radiator leak/removal

    I've got a Unique 289FIA with a 351C. The aluminum radiator has started a leak. How much trouble is removal? I'm hoping it will come out through the top?

    Pretty simple and easy, once you get the hoses off. There is one top bolt in the middle of the radiator and two retainer brackets under the radiator. It is supported buy a c channel section of the frame. Need to jack the car up and drop it out the bottom.

    As Eliminator said, out the bottom and fairly easy. Depending on the aluminum in the nose, you may have to remove a piece on top to get at the stove bolt on that runs through the top.
