    The radiator in my '72 Comet 250/6 appears the same as a V8 radiator.Is the fan shroud the same for a 302 as the 250? If so,where do I get one for cheap?

    I think the V8 ones are thicker or deeper how ever you want to say it would say the one on our fact. V8 car is at least 1 in. deeper than the 250 one we have would have to go check it out to be sure.

    upper radiator hose inlet is larger on the v8 radiator. only difference i see. i have one of each right now. v8 doesn't appear any thicker than the 250/6 one.

    Per my old Modine radiator catalog the 250 6 and 302 V8 use the same radiator which is the same as a 302 '70 Mustang. I was hoping the shrouds were the same also.

    I seem to recall that the fan is not "centered" on a 250 like it is on a V-8.
