Swapped a 283 for a 350,now there's no room for the radiator. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You will also have to change all your v-belt pulleys and altinater mount for the short pump.

If you replaced a 283, the radiator was most likley mounted in the V8 position, it's just a matter of making two simple brackets and putting the radiator in the six cylinder position, takes less than an hour and you get so much extra space you'll probably have to put on a fan spaccer.

Measure twice; cut once, ie. "I cut it three times and it's still too short"
