Hi, I guy I know wants an aluminum radiator for his 68 mustang, but is having trouble finding one. It originally had a 289, but he is going with a 400hp 351w. What has everyone one else done in this situation? Griffin doesn't seem to make aluminum radiators for 67-68 mustangs. Can anyone help?

I bought the Aluminum 2 row Rad from summit. (Summit brand) 27 inch 150 some odd bucks.

I was able to use the stock top bracket but I need to modify the lower brackets for it to fit right.

Other than that it's a nice fit.

Will that provide enough cooling for the 400hp 351w ? What fan did you go with?

not sure who told you that, but I have a Griffin for my 68 that I bought from MP. I put a spal fan on it & it has been working great.
