Aluminum Radiator?

[Ford_Crazy]

I need to buy a radiator for my 57 Custom.  I'm running a big block and will probably have air conditioning at some point.  They want $600-$700 for a Griffin radiator, which I think is a little pricy.  I see that Summit has universal fit aluminum radiators and wonder if any one on the forum has ever used one?  How do you mount one of these universal radiators?  Thanks!

I have used them in three different applications.  They are good units and did the jod very well.  Mounting will vary.  I used bottom and top mount brackets in the Falcon install I did.  Bent some 16 gauge sheet metal 2" wide into a basic "U" shape for the bottom two and the top was a "U" shape that bolted to the radiator support much like the later Mustangs did.

Remember one thing, you get what you pay for. Griffin is top of the line. Nuff said

I'm using an AFCO universal fit radiator. Had to make brackets, but that was no big deal. It cools my 460 with no problems. I'm using a clutch fan and no shroud.

My stock 57 radiator core is 25" wide and 18" high.  What is the size of the universal radiator you are using?  Model number?  Thanks
