Just went out and measured my stock 63 Valiant rad
Core size 18 3/4" wide 17" high 2 core.
Overall hight 21 3/4" 22 1/4" to top of cap
Mounting bolt flange to flange wide 21 3/8" High 12"
Let us know what you ordered, part# and cost as reference.
The rest is up to you as far as fan. I used a 16" 5 blade SS flex to replace the iron 4 blade.

Doesn't work that way. That URL only works for you, not for us, and then only until you close your browser.

Check you part#,,, The one you show has the outlet on the wrong side.

Way too wide (and probably too thick) for an installation in your '63 Valiant without substantial hacking. Why not get a radiator of the correct size, shape, and bracket configuration? It's not much more costly than this "universal" item.

There is an Afco size that fits nicely. Dart 270 has had one in his 64 for years......

Id search Afco rad on here........

Post subject:  found this one.....

this is the most likely candidate without getting the Guy to make me one. Which will probably be the best bet.
Even though this is the closest I've come to an original replacement.

Proliance's stuff for our cars is of pathetic quality any more. You should see the halfazzed junk they foist off as a heater core for a '73+ A-body with A/C. None for me, thanks, I'm driving.
