Was the C6ZE A2 radiator used in the 350's?

And would the date be somewhere around 11 65?

I don't think so . I have not seen or heard of that radiator being used on a GT350 from the factory. It may be for a 6cyl . The inlet and outlet are typically a smaller diameter on 6cyl. That observation may help eliminate the 6cyl possibility.

     I have only seen C4ZE top tanks well into 66 dates. I don't recall seeing a C6ZE with the W MO on it.

Non-Shelby application but an example from a 11-65 marked one





The top tank - if dated 11-65 could be used to make a GT350 radiator if you could locate the rest of the parts since the ID tag is available as a reproduction  and that info was not stamped in the top tank by Nov 65 radiator production.  My records suggests that a very small group of 66 GT350's received radiators dated for November

   Thanks Jeff,
       I was thinking in terms of the C6ZE stamped into the top tank which I have never seen  , not the soldered on plate as in your picture.

Understand - by Nov the tank stamped ID would have been gone. That's right about the change over from what I can tell

Thanks for info guys. It does have the W HO letters as well. I know of one but was wanting to see first if it was used in the 66 350's and second if anyone here would need it. But sounds likely 350's didn't use them much.

The letters are W MO . MO is short Modine which is the radiator MFG.  GT350's didn't use a radiator with the C6ZE-B2 or A2 tag at all. The date was what Jeff was referring to he had seen used on a few Shelby's.

Actually meant to type "M". Fat fingers once again😆

It's an A2 with 11 65 date.

  The W is for "western"  meaning the Modine manufacturing plant here in California. W MO should be on ALL '65-66 ( same size) and 67 ( larger) radiators.
