That has the "more rounded" top tank on it... The late 60's style radiator... a fine choice if I do say so myself.... (Richard Jeni lobster joke reference....)
I would then set up the front of the engine for a late 60's style radiator...
What timing chain cover are you using??? Can you post a picture of that???
I recommend using the cast iron water pump... Then use the alternator mounting brackets from a 67 - 69 small block...
If you don't have them or can't find a used set, you can get them new at a reasonable price, mancini has them for $40 and they include the bolts and spacers...
Alternator Mounting Kit
For pulleys, you want the ones from a 67 - 69 small block... I bought a set from this guy a while back for my younger son's valiant that we are building, he seems to have quite a bit of stuff, contact him and see if he has another set of these...
[FOR SALE] - Pre 70 Crank/Water Pump Pulley Set
You want the bell shaped water pump pulley like in the link above that I just listed ^^^^^, not the one with the angle like this one... See how it has the angle in the taper from the mounting hole diameter to the belt groove, this is the one that is for the aluminum water pump, not the cast iron one....
