A custom radiator would be $$$$$ I am looking for a drop in solution for my car probably going to be a Missimoto, with a lifetime warranty. It is a 3 pass used for 800hp cars Its part of the x-line series.

Just to give you some comparison when you’re looking at cost, my McCord radiator for a 289 was $1700! It’s brass/copper, nothing fancy.

You sure that it not gold? You know some Italian gold is copper color and sounds like that brass may be gold. $$$$$

In the hopes this info will help anyone replacing or planning their rad for their project. I worked with Griffin and had them custom build a rad to my dimensions for my West Coast Cobra. Yes The core uses 2 row 1.25” tubes. My rad sits vertical and is not tilted rearward like originals and other replicas. The goal is to design the tallest and widest rad you can fit in the allowable space. So Im able to fit a core that is 26” x 16” in my app. Im using twin 13” Spals and no shrouding on backside of core. Fans cover 69% of the core surface area. The front fish mouth grill is well sealed and shrouded to force air through the core. In testing on a 100F ambient day, while cruising (above 40 mph) water temp is about 185-190F and 200F at idle while stopped with the twin Spals spinning. Cooler ambients yield lower water temps. Dont forget to maximize water flow with adequate pulley sizes and a quality pump, important for low speed with lots of idle time. My engine produces max 450 hp.
