And it's not for some other application, it's actually made for '74-80 Pintos. :D

Their site says '75-80, but I don't think there would be a difference for any factory 2.3/2.8L cars.

And if one is willing/capable to enlarge the cradle opening it should fit the early cars too! It was a few years ago (trying to activate dead memory cells) but basically I removed the 17" radiator and cut out the driver side section.  With a little trimming, bending I slid it outward, over the remaining creating a stronger double wall and welded it in place. The top and bottom go behind and the mid-section goes in the indent in front. The 20" radiator touches the bottom valance but a piece of thin rubber separates everything.
