Do you guys use aluminium or just oem style? If aluminium do you get the ones made for a 65 or do you get the universal style ones and just measure? I need top right and bottem left.

I never really saw the need to go to an aluminum radiator for my own car, but I've put alot of them in.
I've always been really happy with just the big block Ford factory radiator. they work very well. Top pass. side and bottom drivers side would be a 1969 big block Ford radiator.

I'm shopping for one now for my big block.. Do you have any recommendation where I can get one that will fit well, hold up & looks close to NOS? Every vendor seems to be selling different ones & at all different prices.

Well, I'm starting up this thead again hoping that someone can clue me in. I've looked at the catelogs & called 6 Mustang Vendors. No one seems to know what they are selling. I have the 428 & Modine stopped selling rads for them I guess so now they are all from overseas. Radiator.com wants to sell me a Visteon.

I really could use some help here. Does anyone have any experience with replacement radiators or know which parts house I can count on? I looked at NPD, Dallas, Mustangs Plus, Branda, Mustangs Unlimited & Glazier. I really would hate to order something mail-order sight-unseen.
