Can anyone confirm the location of the upper radiator outlet on a Hurricane supplied radiator.

Looking at the pictures on the build site, it appears to the upper rt corner (passenger side)

Looking at the pictures on the Mfg website, I see it done both ways - upper rt and upper lt.

How is it supplied

makes a difference on the expansion tank on a FE engine

Thanks

Check with Mike Arps to be sure but I think the radiator can be ordered left or right. As you probably already know, some FE degas tanks are indexed passengers side and some drivers side depending on what car it was originally installed (Thunderbird was passengers side while original Cobras used drivers side).

Some of the Galaxie and Mercury tanks are pass side exit also beside the Tbird tanks. I'm using a C5ME-8A080-A tank from an old Merc and it pass side exit. Good chance they are all the same tank use in the differnet models. Just the part numbers changed every so many years.
