Charles, I am interested in the 5FA radiator.

In the February 2008 HMN issue there is an article "Confessions of A Restorer" by Dave Wallace that describes his purchase and restoration journey with his 65 K-code FB.

From your description of your potential purchase, I think you should buy this kar.
In the future, 5K will seem like a small amount of extra money to have paid to obtain something that is truly rare, even though the car-buying public is slow to value it as such today.
On my kar I have spent a lot of money ($$$) restoring a rusty Unibody. It sounds like you will not need to go here because of the present condition of your unibody.
I have also spent a lot of time and money on e-bay and at Carlisle/Columbus hunting down missing k-code components for my 65 hipo because prior owners cared less about preservation and more about $$$$$$$. Don't be fooled, finding and buying correct components requires a lot of work, determination, and money. It sounds like you are way ahead here because many of the original K-code components still remain.
I have spent way more money on my kar than I ever intended too, but my car is a special kar (that is what they all say) and I am proud that I got it out of the 30-year garage sarcophagus where is sat and back onto the street. At least someone will enjoy it even if I decide to eventually sell it.

I have two extra manifolds: June 7, 1965 and July 15, 1965, both C6 manifolds. Referencing Bob Mannel's book, I believe both manifolds were originally from 1966 model year cars (traces of ford blue paint).
