Radiator for a 400 engine

Hey, I’ve got a 75 F100 and I just put a 400 engine in. I had bought a new radiator but the core is only about 26” wide and 19-1/4” tall. My shroud will not fit it’s too tall. I’ve found a taller radiator with the same width. It’s 24-1/4” tall. That will fit my shroud.

the problem is the taller radiator is only a single row. I worry because the 400 engine is bored 0.060 over. I think I need the taller radiator but with more rows. Do any of you know where I might find a radiator

This should fit with plenty of cooling.

This is the one that you want, unfortunately there is no ETA for when it will be back. This is Champion CC545 and much different than the other more common one they sell.

I just ordered from Here Called in directly because the site says they don’t have it but the man on the phone got one shipped out next day.
Exact same dimensions of the brass and copper one I took out at less than 1/3 price of the one I was looking at and way less than a brass and copper direct replacement.
