i have a becool radiator in my mustang..cools great..and it's only like an inch thick..lol..barely thick enough to hold tools on.

He said without breaking the bank, I know those BeCool's are some money. Check out the Griffin aluminum radiator that Summit or Jegs sells. Million different sizes and works awesome. If any of our sponsors carry them maybe they can chime in.

Call Ask Frank First in South River, 732-238-8123. They have a line of stuff there called Big End. I bought one of their aluminum radiators for my car, cheap! No built-in trans cooler, no drain plug. Just the two hose connections and the radiator cap. Thing is perfect! Don't know how many different sizes are available. I see you race at E-Town from that picture, so do I. Check me out on Friday nights (Mean Street), or Sundays, Pro and Top Street. You can see the radiator in person.

If you wanna try the cheapy cheap route, i went to autozone and got an aluminum 1" single core rad for 99.99.. Keeps my junk nice an cool with a single 16" elec fan. 160-180 usually..

What make and model did you tell them?

[Oldsmoduck]

I think i used an 88 Firebird with a tuned port 5.7L, it was dimensionally correct and fits like a glove, i'll snap a pic of it later tonight

If you go on Autozones site they actually have the radiator dimensions listed on each application.

On another note, we just finished a big block chevelle and the original 3core was f'in junk.. So we went the same route and the radiator that they gave us was the same alum single core deal as a replacement for the 3core copper.

I run a Griffin with the big tubes and a single 16" fan. Even if the engine gets to 180 on the starting line, it has never gotten much over 200 at the end of the quarter. Then it'll cool down as I drive back to the pits.

By the way, I like your wheels!
