Mid Fiftys Aluminum radiator?
Has anyone used Mid Fiftys' Aluminum Crossflow radiator? Heres a link: http://www.midfifty.com/07catalog/Page%20120_121.pdf
I am looking at the large version to cool my Ford Racing 460 with 550hp and 545 Ft. Lbs of Torque. I already have an electric fan that should be capable of cooling it.
Im wondering if anyone here has used one or seen one installed? Mid Fifty told me it mounts inside the saddle which is how I would need it mounted. Just hoping to verify this before I hand over $550 bucks.
Thanks,
Cory

I can't tell from the pictures but when you created the tilt front did you ensure that you maintained a good air cooling fit of the sheet metal in the area around the radiator or can you see areas where cooing air coming through the grill can bypass without going through the core of your radiator. I would make sure that you can't have cooling air bypass first-the no $ possible option. I am not familiar with the sheet metal on your year truck but I was very careful to maintain or fabricate new air bypass shield on my 49. In short, all air coming thru the grill you want to be sure that it can only go thru the radiator core not above it, below it or around the sides of it.

Thanks for the compliments and replies.
The truck already had the front tilt when I bought it, and I never paid attention to how close the sheet metal was to the radiator. Its a good idea, and Im sure it could only help. But Im fairly sure I need a new radiator. Mine is 30 something years old anyway. Thanks.
