many people use the '99-03 (maybe newer than '03 as well) ones out of the super-dookies. That's what I have in mine, my buddy has in his '75 and many guys in the engine swaps forum here have used. They come with either plastic end tanks or aluminum end tanks - get the all aluminum one.

I used an all aluminum '99ish Ford one. Here's my photobucket page with pics. Sorry I didn't take any without the grille but you'll get the idea.

It's not really that hard. I just followed the leads of of several guys who had done it before. The one unfortunate part is that there's no space to mount an A/C condenser in front of it. There is lots of space between the IC and the radiator but putting a condenser between there would make the A/C completely useless. If I ever get around to adding A/C the condenser will go under the bed with an electric fan. Just another thing to be aware of when doing such a swap.

Oh yea were differently short room in front of the radiator, Thats one of my next projects fixing my A/C and sticking in an inter cooler, But I probably have more room between the fan and radiator being a IDI, I have already spaced it back 1" and stuck the core in the hole instead of being in front of it,But my tubes have to both come in the drivers side no room at all on the passenger side.
