With the customers approval, I prefer to do the following modifications to the cooling system when installing a B20 in place of a B18.

Besides making sure the radiator core is in excellent condition, replacing the 1" diameter radiator hose barbs with 1 1/4" for the upper and lower radiator hoses and install the later thermostat housing to match. The upper and lower radiator hoses from 1967-1970 122 will now fit.

Update the radiator cap housing in the upper radiator tank to accept a 13 lb radiator cap or install the later expansion tank that accepts a 13 lb cap.
