These are good radiators. They mount right up and have nice construction. You shouldn't have any cooling issues w/ one of these.

You dont really need a big thick one unless you will be road racing.

Here you go!
I ordered the 27” long Universal radiator from Summit. It works really well and the car runs cool down the road. My electric fan is only needed when I stop in slow traffic for like 15 minutes. The radiator cap just barely clears the hood, if that means anything, but I have not had any problems with it.
The universal radiator hold down brackets Summit sells do not work. You have to make your own hold down brackets, which is no bid deal.
For the hoses, stock ones do not fit well or at all. These numbers below are for hoses from AutoZone that fit perfectly, but cross referenced at CarQuest here.
LOWER - (c)71593CS -
UPPER - (c)71654 -
The radiator drops right in. To get it to work with a Mark VIII fan took some cutting of the shroud to get it to fit.
I actually dropped the radiator in and put a couple wire ties to keep it in place.
You can also buy radiator ties as well.
