'64 & '65 V8 radiators all have the upper inlet on the passenger side.

'66 & '67 radiators have it on the driver's side.

The later design radiator is a direct bolt-in on earlier cars, other than having to notch the fan shroud for the new inlet location.
------------------------------------------------
Sorry I have nothing to offer on modding the standard radiator support to fit the taller radiator.

But I can tell you that the A/C support sits pretty much even with the bottom of the bumper so there really isn't any room to spare. Scraping the bottom of the bumper isn't all that hard to do once or twice and if you do that once with a modded support that hangs below the bumper you'll be in for a big disappointment.

I had a tripower setup on my warn out 326 when I got it and I took it off and put the two Darrel intake on it. When I ordered my champion I just used the thermostat housing that was on it and used the tripower hose. I guess I got a funky setup

Tom, thanks for checking, all is right in the world again!

Lemans64, just so you know, your Fremont built Lemans shows a Time Built code on the Data plate of 2B, this decodes as:

2 = Feb
B = 2nd week of the month

Nobody really knows what calendar dates were represented by the 2nd week of any given month but for our purposes, generally this pins it down close enough.

The 1st character 8 in the VIN confirms that it was a V8 build, 6 cyl Tempests would have a 1st character 6 in the VIN.

If you have the PHS doc for your car, it would list the specific engine option, 2 bbl 326 or 4 bbl 326.

The Fremont Doc will also show the "DATE PRODUCED" and the "SCHEDULE NO. AND DATE".

Not certain if the DATE PRODUCED is the date it rolled off the Final Assembly line or perhaps the date it started final assembly, but again, as close a Birthday date as you can possibly get for your Lemans.
