cooling suggestions?

I need to put in a new radiator for my 74. I run a 302 w/headers, 4-brl Edlebrock 650 and manifold. I'm just looking for some quality suggestions in both performance and $$!!

Thanks.

Try Jamesduff.com or broncograveyard.com They are both good sites with lots of parts and suggestions......an aluminum radiator will for the most part cool better and be lighter.....but won't take some of the off road abuse like sticks and rocks that a steel radiator will. Look for a 3 or 4 core.

Like Jake said, the best for the money is an aluminum. You can get a stacked 3 core that will fit in the stock location and use a stock fan shroud. They offer excellent cooling capability.

From what I've seen though, the aluminum holds up just as well as a steel/ copper radiator.

Thanks! I went with the Duff Hi-Efficiency. Already had my eye on it, anyway. The alum is just too much $$ to part with!
