Radiator advice please

cactushorse · May 30, 2012

I've narrowed my search for a new radiator to these;

http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/radiator-v8-aluminum-manual-super-hd-66-77-early-ford-bronco

Of course I did a search and I got buried with tons of info/opinion. To much to be honest. It looks like these may be the best available? I know there are cheaper options but I'm not interested in buying some POS that won't last or doesn't quite do the job.

Also, are these repairable down the road? I would think the copper one may be but I'm no radiator guy!

let me know what you think. Here are some details for my rig in case it helps.

351W 400hp/400tq
AT,PS, 4.11's
No AC, No EFI

I'd probably go with the wild horses radiator but it says you'll need an external transmission cooler.

I already have one so it isn't an issue. Thanks though

I have always used a 4 core copper radiator my temps stay at 190-195 with a regular fan.

;D;D;D If I had to take one of them it would be wildhorses one Im not a fan of the alum. ones. I run a warmed up 351W with a stock 3 row ford rad. never had a problem with it getting hot. It was put in about 74 or 75 still working good. Good luck with your choice.

I like the original radiators myself. They are built stronger with thicker tanks than the aftermarket stuff. If mine dies I will just have it recored.
