A Fluidyne or Griffin radiator will do fine, the stock dual fan set up is great and a stock capasity water pump will all do great.

But put the biggest radiator that you can afford/fit in there.

Its always a good idea to overbuild the cooling system.

I was thinking of going Fluidyne for a stock motor. So you think it will be ok? even if it's stock?

first of all turn caps off, then put a Modine radiator in your car. warranteed for life, no questions asked. stock fan and water pump will suit you fine, but while youre into the cooling system, change your t-stat down to a 180* and let your motor run a little cooler.

^ i'd have to agree with coupe ont his one because i dont know the nature or intentions of the car, it is unecesary to build a "race" cooling system on an otherwise stock car, get a 3 core copper core radiator, 180* t stat, the stock fan cools very well if the clutch bearings are still operating properly, an electric fan may require an alternator upgrade depending on how much current it draws, the stock water pump if it works, leave it alone, because they are a huge PITA to get to, easy to change ( 3 bolts) but you have to drain A/C system firstand tear the entire dash out, and theres like a bilion and one screws, nuts, and bolts to loose and forget where they go.
Good Luck Dude
