    Slowly going through the cooling system, and I need a good radiator. What company sells one that fits in our stock location? The radiator support is only so big with our cars, Id like to find something aluminum. Im running a CSR electric pump and blower, so something that flows would be great :dance:

    Measure your stock unit and then check with Summit racing on a Griffin universal "circle track" radiator. Don't let the name fool you. They work great on street cars. Big one inch tubes and all aluminum. Price is $189 for most of them. We use one in my Dad's 512" Thunderbird and one in my kid's 4.6 DOHC Fairmont Futura. No problems with either one. They should have one close to your dimensions that will work with either no work or minimal work.
