    anyone know if the radiators are different sizes and primarily if the grilles are different sizes on the boxed section where the radiator bolts to the backside of the grille for the 225 vs. the f-head? Thanks guys.

    IIRC, the V6 grilles center the radiator, where as some F grilles are offset. if this is wrong, someone will correct me. I had an M38A1 and its rad mountings were offset to one side.

    my '66 has a slight offset, just like my m38a1 grille.

    factory extra cooloing had a 1/4" taller radiator. Unsure about the 22" ones, as my parts '71 has an aftermarket alum one.

    how far offset are they? The mounting holes for my radiator are 24" on center, so sounds like I'd need to fab some bracketry out further anyway, so I may be able to get it back centered unless it's waaay off to the side.
