I'm looking at getting an aluminum radiator. I have a 302 with C4 transmission and currently the transmission cooler lines are hooked into the radiator. The engine has a mild cam, full length headers, and Edelbrock RPM heads and intake. I currently have a repoduction style 4 core bolt in(20") radiator and it stays cool until I get into stop and go on mildy hot days(80-90), And above that it runs pretty hot but never overheated.
I would like to know what aluminum radiators people here are using. If you have the part number and manufacturer that would be great.
I would like to know how they fit. I want one that will bolt right in with little to no modification. I ask this because my current "bolt in direct replacement" was WAY to tall and the cap hit the hood and eventually cracked the filler neck.
I was looking at this Griffin one from summit, not for any particular reason, its just one I cam across. http://store.summitracing.com/defau...eywordSearch&DDS=1&N=115&target=egnsearch.asp
and also this one, from califnoria mustang - http://store.cal-mustang.com/showdetl-7-7113-19-0.html
I understand some are epoxied and some are welded or brazed. I dont know if the Griffen one above is epoxied or not, but I have heard that the epoxy can soften from the heat and leak.
This car is my daily driver and and the radiator is starting to leak from the core and I appreciate anyones advice and suggestions.
