Well I ordered their 1130-1 radiator. It is a doublepass 25x16" overall radiator. Single Core with integrated fan and shroud. They said it would stop all cooling problems that I was having with my unshrouded 33x19 3-core copper radiator. Here is a picture of it:

Not bad for $589 complete just the way you see it. Be cool wanted $1000 for the same set-up radiator, fan and shroud)

He recomended this radiator because it is drag race use only and a double pass would benefit me better along with the aluminum construction.

It is more of a universal fit, not a direct bolt in.

Do they have setup for street/strip cars? I was looking for a radiator for my 68 with the 533 in it.

Ron can set you up with whatever you need. He's cool to deal with since he was once a racer and unserstands what racers do. His new shop is only about 5 miles from my new house, that's cool.

try 623-877-5000, their tech line. They mention you might have to leave a msg, but they'll get back to you.

The basic layout of the radiator in the picture is almost identical to a pre 1983 VW Rabbit/Scirocco radiator. Just an FYI.

If you don't need a special radiator for drag racing and don't feel like spending $600+, check this place out. http://webbase.transpro.com/radcat/
I got a 4 core GM big block radiator for $121.. ;)
