Gael,
Your engine specs show a Ron Davis Custom Aluminum, Do you have more info on that one? I talked to them and they need an invoice # then they can copy yours for me. Also Can I ask how much it was? My current OEM radiator is clean inside but is not cooling the engine in temp over 75. It crawls upward over time and the engine runs HOT to the point of making me worry about it. The factory guage rides at about 90% of the normal range just under H in other words waaaay up there. Thanks a ton.

ok thanks guys, mine needs replacing. Probably will be the next thing we will replace. The guy I bought my car from wants to buy my radiator back, its numbers matching for his 78 king cobra I guess. He offered me like 75 for it.

I still need a part # or something so Ron Davis know's what to make for me. I guess they have STM (short term memory) cause they can't remember doing Gaels Radiator.

If price is a big factor, go to www.carradiators.com They had the cheapest ones (if ya call 200 n change cheap )

Ebay has em from time to time, but the going price is always over 200 too.

Yes, but I started digging in closer, and it was for the V6.....at least I think it was there.....

Make them check how many rows it has. I bet its the 2-core. If you wanna go with that, I got one Ill sell. Heck, it sorta cooled my 383.
