is there any car in the junkyard that is better than our stock ones? Would a caprice 4.6 motor with an automatic tranny be a easy replacement for my auto 5.0?

really nice.. cuz i mean a aluminum radiator is a aluminum radiator to me.. and if its made by ford im sure its good. Just wondering if it will hold up to about 500hp.. but i wont be driven like im nuts all the time just here n there lol cuz id rather pay like 40-80bucks for that then a 400doller one just cuz it has a fansey name on it that you cant see anyway.

im just lookin for a replacement even if its a stock one like i have now.... im just tryin to make the best of the junkyard parts that i can. i dont see why any radiator with a tranny cooler built in wouldnt work for my car as long as it has the same amount of hookups.
