Aluminum radiator size
Yesterday I noticed my stock radiator is leaking. Last night I put some of that stuff that's supposed to plug holes, didn't work though. Guess with my 331 coming I should upgrade to a nice aluminum one. Big names out there are Fluidyne, BeCool, and Griffen. Anybody have anything to say about these products? And what size will I need to fit in my car? BeCool claims that their 19"x30" is made for the 79-93 5.0 but I swear I read someplace else that there is a better size. ~Brian

When my stock radiator started becoming clogged, causing my car to run uncomfortably hot, I changed to the Ford Racing aluminum radiator.
I think the part # is M-8005-C, and it sells from $240-$270 depending on vendor. It is very thick and works very well for me. Good luck,

Also look at the Ron Davis radiators. Completely aluminum unlike some of the others and cost about $250.
