My '77 4x4 street rod still has the 351M radiator, water pump is now a weiand high flow and using a Mark VIII fan, temp is fine for cruising but stay on the throttle hard and it quickly rises. Looking at the Bronco Graveyard thay have a Super Cooler rad and an aluminum flex-a-lite rad, which would give the best bang for the cooling buck? Thanks.

I got one from Champion, it was a huge 4 core and keeps my puller cool all the time. And the price is good also

I'm still using an origonal brass radiator in my bronco with a mild 460. I'm using a 2-speed fan from a taurus with a/c. Mounted it on some aluminum brackets right to the factory holes. It keeps it relatively cool on the hottest of days climbing the dunes.

I decided to get the Super Cooler rad from Bronco Graveyard (#20604), I compared it to the NAPA list price for the identical rad here in Canada.......are you ready..........$922.45 ($553.47 dealer cost). Damn good thing the dollar is almost par Laughing
