54 Packard Pacific / new aluminum rad / LONG mfg. vs Modine

Your input is greatly appreciated. The side shown was the front. Not the engine side. The previous picts were only the front of the rad. The new rad is to the exact specs of original 1954 senior Packard engineering blueprint sans the stamped tank. Part #'s 446509 (a/c) and 455036. I believe the junior Clippers had a Modine rad. My 54 has a Long Mfg. rad which is stated on the blueprints. The drain cock is clearly in the front of the rad as stated in the 54 service manual, visible inspection and on both blueprints. In addition, the Long Mfg. cradle brackets are clearly different than those on a Modine rad. History of Long Mfg.:http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/r/rome_turney/rome_turney3.htm
