Anybody have any luck with jegs or summits "generic" aluminum radiators? I would like to buy one eventually, but am not sure of the quality of these radiators. What factory radiators could I use if I decide not buy one of the aluminum ones? This will be used a to cool a mild 427/4 speed combo. One other question. What dimensions should I look to get? I know I could go with a be cool setup up I'm not really into selling body parts to pay for my hobby.lol:D Thanks for the help, Jason Hopson

I bought the 21" summit generic not too long ago. It's made by Northern radiator, and looks and cools great.

Do a search in heating and cooling, lots of info there.

Buy the Griffin 27.5" with 1" tubes for $189 and TIG on brackets like I did. Nice piece.

I put in a summit 27.5 inch. Tig welded some alum angle to the sides. Works really well. I added a taurus fan and a summit fan relay. Don't have a lot of miles on it yet but ran it up and done the road in 97 degree heat at low speeds. No problems so far.
