recomend a good radiator for my 69

boostedzx3 · February 16th, 2008, 04:39 PM

I guess with the tax return i'm going to replace my radiator and get a fan shroud. I would like to go with a 4 core but want to know where I could get the best deal and what I should go with.

I have a 70 with a 460 and run a Griffin which works great but I also ran a stock repacement radiator for a 69-70 428 car and never had an issue.

Well maybe i'll go and try having it rodded out and cleaned really good. I got in contact through a local hot rod club with a guy that is really good. I'm also going to put a filter on the top coolant line going into the rad because I heard that the ford blocks are notorious for producing some rust in the coolant jackets and then depositing it in the radiator.

just get a bottle of antirust and pour in your rad.

Yea this guy pulls the end tanks off and repaints the things and does any needed work for about 100 bucks, cant lose there.

why not add a 100 and go new?

have your radiator guy re-position the inlet tube to the drivers side of the tank. The coolant will have significantly more room to cool before going back into your block. I did this on my stock 3 row ford radiator and it cooled an extra 20 degrees on a hot day. Well worth the 50 bucks in labor and saved me $ over buying an alum unit!
