I really like my griffin radiator. They are a big name, but are probably going to be more expensive than a generic from summit or on ebay.

I am also a big fan of installing large flex fans with shrouds. I put a 19" Flex-A-Lite with big block shroud. It barely fit in my '69, but man does it more air and keep things cool.

I actually ordered this on this week. $205 + $30 shipping on a 3 core aluminum radiator...You can't possibly go wrong...I will let you guys know how it works. I have a slightly worked 302 and will probably put atleast another 100-150 HP into the motor so I agree 3 row is smarter.

yeah the taurus fan is great, the Lincoln mark 7 is even better the only difference is the pitch of the blade
