Radiators-who's best?

jack homsher · 02-04-2000, 02:25 PM

'69 302-2v Grande needs radiator; who's best? 2-row or 3-row? Which manufacturers? Would like original looks, but want best performance.

In my car I had the stock 2 row and always ran hot. Put a 3 row in with a fan shroud and she runs nice and cool. That's with A/C in the heat of Texas.
Unless your going to really beef up the horses, a stock 3 row from a reputible supplier will work.

I use a 4 row in my '66. Also had to put in a FlowKooler water pump, 160 thermostat, Shelby front valance, and an auxillary electric fan. It does run cool now though.
