The direct replacement Summit brand aluminum radiator (from Summit of course) is an American made Northern brand radiator. Jim runs one on his 408 in his 66, it does the job fine, and it looks nice. Also, it sells for about $300.... hard to beat in my mind.

The Summit direct fit radiator for a '67 (which has both inlet and outlet on the p-side) is $360.

Personally, I'm eyeballing one of these for when I get my tax return back.

I've had a few radiators in my day. I've had becool, fluidyne, and griffin. I by far like the griffin for performance and longevity as it's just an overall better made radiator. But you definitely pay for it. That is my experience. Becool is pretty good too. I've heard of some mishimotos and fluidynes leaking, mine didn't but it's been said.

I use a Summit "universal" radiator in my 5.0L 69. I have no cooling issues whatsoever, even in the middle of summer in stop-and-go traffic for a few hours. Current price on the radiator is $145.
