Veteran Posts: 131   | Hey guys, I just dropped off my old rad at a shop - long story short, $550 to re-core, more than I'd planned on spending. I've seen several threads about people buying aluminum radiators, but I'm unclear on how they've made their decisions. On mine, the top tube is passenger side, bottom is drivers side, and trans cooler lines are bottom tank. Oh, stock engine was a 361, but I'm putting in a '64 413 (and trans) that's been bored to 426, if that helps. Not concerned with stock appearance. Can anyone offer up any advice? Could really use some guidance here. Thanks! edited to add: might as well include heater cores, as that's shot too.  Edited by oldhippie 2015-11-17 12:03 PM | ||

With the radiator, dont discount the option of a separate transmission cooler, it might open up your options a bit Someone had a tag line on the bottom of their post that I thought was really good It went something like "Universal fit fits nothing until you make it fit" This is where you are with your radiator  | ||
