Default Almuinum Radiators

Hi and Merry Xmas -
I'm probably going to replace the 4-row radiator in my 69-Mach I (Im fuzzydicerules dad - he's got the picture) with an aluminum radiator. The other one runs a little hot (180-200).
Anyone got any preferences. I'm leaning toward the Griffin bolt 1 1/4" in but someone said the PWR's are good too, but that they're saddle mount (mines bolt in). I've got 425HP so I need a pretty hefty cooling system.
Thanks
FuzzyDiceDad

yeah, but we want it just a bit cooler, and aluminum radiators are cool, and it gets hotter than **** under the hood, the prop rod is a pain in the *** to use after it gets up to heat

You can upgrade to electric fan and it will bring the temp down ( If you don't already). Those flex blade fans are junk to use on a motor with some power.
