Why?

1961 to early 1968 with the MEL 430/462 engines came with a unique expansion tank. Unfortunately, this tank has a tendency to leak over time at the seams or at the engine block connection. A typical symptom is coolant at the back of the engine. 

Solution and Benefits:

The Lincoln community has found some solutions such as 1993 Mustang radiator (credit to Pat Teahan) or a 1970 Lincoln radiator (credit to Oscar Ramos). However, we have found our own solution. Beginning in late 1968, Lincoln changed over the 460 engine and installed a new bigger radiator with a radiator cap on the driver side. This also got rid of the expansion tank. For us, it’s the perfect fit as its the biggest radiator of the 3 in this discussion as well as allow us to keep the stock lower radiator hose.
