    I do know that 70 and 72 trans upper line attaches in a different location. One is closer to the top. Some radiator orders show a difference in part number.

    Test fit of champion so far so good. Will have to lower upper trans cooling line roughly 3 1/2”. Everything seems to bolt up pretty close along with radiator support cushions

    I had to tweak my trans cooler lines a little bit also. Nothing major though.

    I also bought these https://www.dewitts.com/collections/accessories/products/custom-cushions
    A little bit of trimming and they fit perfect.

    Your overflow is 3/8" hose you will need this fitting and a 1/16" close nipple.
    I ran a drill through the fitting to open it up as much as possible without messing up the threads.

    @Storm1 did you use the same spacer/cushion for the top and bottom?

    I used the original stock bottom ones they were still in good condition.
