Im looking for a radiator and im having a hard time picking one. Im looking on input on who has the best radiator for my 1988 coupe. So far i have taken a look at summit radiators part numbers 38044 that does not come with the tranny coolers which i will not be needing because i run a manual car. The other is the 380451 which has the built in tranny cooler but is slightly larger than the other measuring a core height of 17.50in and a width of 25.00in. Another radiator that i have looked at was from a company called Alumrad cheap radiator only 189.00. The final radiator is Mishimoto. This radiator is going on a charged 331 coupe so any input will be helpful i want to buy the right radiator the first time.

I have a plastic-tank Ford Racing radiator and it works well for the price. Since I bought it, (about 8 years ago) the market has gotten flooded with offshore brands, but be careful with cheap prices, as fitment and function often suffer as a result. Ron Davis radiators...FTW. That will be coming soon. But for now, the FR radiator is a great aluminum replacement.

I just picked up the Mishimoto from LRS. Was a little skeptical at first due to off brand. Only one minor issue is the drivers side tank is bigger than stock so I had to move some wiring out of the way for the radiator cap to clear. Other than that it bolted right in and runs cool.
