You can recore and also get to use the same original fan shroud . Original 67 BB fan shrouds = big $$$$or repro much less $. You can upgrade to a 68-70 style which looks virtually identical except slightly wider width (given the same plant) but will have to get a 68-70 fan shroud . Original 68-70 fan shroud big $$$ or repro much less $ . All other things etc. fit the same regardless of rad used.

I believe the lower radiator brackets were also different between the '67 and '68 big block Mustangs - with slightly different mounting locations as well...

Thank you for bringing that up since I had forgotten about those. The lower mounts should be changed for best results . The lower brackets are available reproduction however the later radiator can be made to work even with the 67 style mounts.

Thanks Bob and everyone Ill try and get her re cored It shouldn't be a problem over here in the UK
Has anyone got any ideas why the radiator would have blown and I did stop all most immediately so I am hoping there is no damage to the engine
Although you are right again Bob the engine has been rebuilt so I assume that is the cause of the engine running warm

Depends, if or how much, the cylinders were bored out.

I have a few of these floating around but don't know which year - does someone have pictures comparing the two or a description? That would be appreciated. The 67 MPC calls it C7ZZ 8052-A.
