1969 Mustang Radiator
Im working on a 1969 Mutstang, just had a 351W built. Alum head motor.
Owner told me today that the car was over heating before he dropped it off to me, so now were going to put a radiator in.
Im looking for a drop in set up. I have been having trouble finding one, thats for a pass side inlet and pass side outlet.
Howe, Ron Davis and Northern has the one i need listed on there site.
Which one is the best,

IMO, they are all good units, I would choose the one within my budget. You can always add the electric fans later if you like.

I bought the Ron Davis one; it's like a piece of art work. I figured rather than spend $400 on crap and \keep trying just pay $1000 once.

The biggest thing I found on my 489 inch 70, is that exit airflow can be as much of a challenge as enough radiator core.
Needless to say a small block shouldnt be as bad, but be sure you have a fan that can move some air in that crowded engine compartment
With mine, I have found that the radiator matters less after a point and the fan always is critical, expecially if he is running a flex or lazy clutch fan
As far as quality though, even the cheapos seem pretty nice, but Ron Davis stuff is very very nice70 Mustang - 489 cid FE, KC ported Edelbrock heads, Modified Victor Intake, Mass-flo EFI, Erson valvetrain, Supercomps, TKO-600, 4.10 9 inch.
