I need to replace the radiator in my Contemporary. Is there any reason why I can't replace it with one that already has a radiator cap on the radiator itself? It seems like most Fords have some sort of seperate tank to fill the radiator from, and I never quite understood why. Is there a reason a "normal" radiator won't work? My car has a 351 Cleveland, so the "correct" surge tank isn't really a priority. What have you guys been using? I wanted to go for a look like ERA has with the aluminum radiator tilted back, and surrounded by aluminum panels. Summit radiators were suggested by someone. Does anyone have anything else you've used? Have any of you CCX guys done this, and if so what did you use and how did you mount it? I saw the Fluidyne Cobra radiator, but at $460.00 it's a bit pricey. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
