Which Radiator for 5.0 swap.
Haven't had any time to work on my car, too busy working. Right now I am needing a radiator and thing on how to do my fuel system. I asked a while ago and I still havent' been able to work any thing out. I am going to go with an inline fuel pump like most of you have. Right now I am stuck looking for a radiator for my 5.0 conversion. Some one mentioned to buy one off ebay. I was going to go looking for one from a junk yard but haven't been able to go look after putting afew more hours I decided to go ahead and order one from ebay. There are two that seem good, don't know which one to get. That is where I need , and appriciate your input. (don't know how to link sorry). It is going to be used and enjoyed ocasional race but not mainly for that. Woutd the one from laurel be thicker than the aluminum and would the taurus fan fit on both? Plus if I order from Laurel I could order the 70 acelarator pedal and the pillar pod. lol

Looks like they have a little more negative feedback. 3 row as well but not aluminum.

There are lots of options, but just pay close attention to the spacing you have. My 2 row AFCO aluminum radiator and SPAL fan actually overlap the snout of the water pump. I had to offset it slightly.

When it come's to which one to use that's up to you really. i just used the one from my donor car because it still had all the stock cooling line hookups and i knew i wouldn't have a problem getting it to work. I've ordered stuff from Laural Mountain (both website and ebay) and haven't had a problem with them at all. I've talked to them over the phone also and they were really nice and cooperative.

I bought my 2 row aluminum radiator (3" thick) from ebay. It keeps the 450hp Boss 347 crate engine in my 66 cool. I'm using the original hipo fan and shroud with no problem. I paid $229 for the radiator:
