Radiator

Radiator
I'm putting together and nearing completion of a 67 Convertible. It has a 289 slightly modified (cam, heads, intake, headers) for good street use. It has a C4 with a 3.55 rear. Now I'm ready for a radiator. I would like to use a mechanical fixed blade fan. Bottom line, I need the whole system and I live in the desert, Mesa, AZ, so I need some really good cooling. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tim

Generally, a good 3-row copper/brass replacement is fine as long as you have a good fan and a shroud. I recommend a clutch fan for less noise.
That said, I'm moving to an aluminum 24" radiator in my '67. My setup gets pretty toasty in 95+ heat while driving around under load. I drive my car pretty hard and I'd like it to stay cool all the time, no matter what. It's also much lighter than a copper/brass unit, contributing to my fb's current diet of aluminum heads, intake, and water pump.
