Which radiator?

Looking for a radiator for my 460. Which one would be a good one to get? It's for my 79 ford 4x4.

If a 4 row top tank Super Cooler won't do it then there is something wrong. I got mine from Performance Radiator INC PN 1504. Don't bother with anything smaller like I did, chased my tail around trying to get the stock 351/400 rad to do the job. Finally threw in the towl, bought the Super Cooler and never had a problem again.

In mine...I'm just using the stock radiator for a 83 up F250 with a 460. My engine is fairly stock w/o AC so it's not a problem. I actually have more of an issue with the engine getting warm, but a 195 thermostat fixed that.

Mine is a 3 core, cross flow stock. If you have some performance goodies in your motor then an aftermarket is a good way to go as Mark states.

Mark....did the hoses line up ok for a top tank vs. a cross flow?

I'm looking for something on Summit, not to expensive.
