Larger aftermarket radiators???

[PRO50SC]

Who has them? What brand? How do they fit and were they a PITA to make fit or did they go right in? What about the top mount radiator brackets?

I do. Summit 31x19 aluminum universal Ford. Fits tight and was a pain. Had to make new brackets.

And do a search. I've seen five radiator threads in what seems like the last week.

I went to the local speed shop. Picked up one made by Big End, its 33 inches long. I had to cut part of the radiator support to make clearence, also had to bend a few a/c lines out of the way. I get nothing but compliments about it. It was only $240 out the door.

ron davis makes a nice one, and i think your local pepboys sells one for really cheap for an aluminum radiator

Autozone Godan 43-3138 3 core brass/copper, $150. Best buy for the $$$

The upper radiator supoorts are easy. Take the rubber out of the old ones, then fill them up with silicone rubber. Put a sheet of Glad Wrap or Saran Wrap over the silicone and bolt them down. One week later remove the mounts and pull off the plastic wrap. Trim the excess silicone rubber and you have custom made radiator mounts.

I replaced my stock radiator with a 3-row radiator. I can't recall who manufactured it, but the radiator shop found it easily in one of the major manufacturer's catalogs and had it delivered in less than 2 hours.

It required no modification of any parts to make it fit, since the top of the radiator was the same width as the stock one.

Yeah thats a good idea. When I put mine in I had to cut about a 6inch long by 2 wide hole for the bottom corner of the rad.
