just kinda curious, what have some of you guys used for aftermarket aluminum radiators??? either made to fit or ones you MADE fit. hah..

heres mine, just so ya know, it does not have the blue neck on it. i dont know why the picture does.

measures 27" tall and 19 3/4" wide. which is perfect to fit between the stock radiator frame. now with it being as tall as it is, just a little notching needs to be done on the bottom side and it works great.

i think this is about the biggest radiator that is able to fit. and its HUGE!! haha i dont think ill have cooling problems with the 400!!

Yeah it is really tight. But with a big block I wanted maximum cooling. We had that one built with the fan shroud and fan plus the condenser already mounted. Here is a picture of the front side.
