Get out your tape measure and start measuring.

If it's the same size as later Jeeps, you got it made in the shade.

Should be the same size as Grem/Hornet or Javelin, Rebel & Matador -main difference is which way the side mounts are facing -towards the front or towards the rear...

...if the side mount 'ears' are facing the wrong way, maybe you can just use longer bolts with spacers (works for me, on a rebuilt car)

Speed Daddy AMC aluminum radiator is currently the best price; not as highly polished as Champion but looks good and gets the job done.

Even if you are towing (?) I bet a two row is all you need because the Rambler V8 has a big water jacket for excellent cooling capacity. -A two row plausibly has better air flow for heat transfer.
