Best radiator for my 700 HP Procharged 383?

So what is it do you think? I have been looking around and I am trying to not spend an arm and a leg, the SC did that already.

I am looking at summit universal units and the like. Things around $200.

racingjunk.com has a lot of stuff too. I can make brackets and weld so I don't need to pay for direct fitment.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a Summit 31 x 19.5 I think. I barely fits. I had to make a mount up top to hold it. It also doesnt sit completley in the factory area. I slants back at more of an angle. I also had to cut out the lower area that the radiator sits on and rebuild it to drop down 1.5" or so.

That looks exactly like the summit one except that my filler neck is blue. The Summit one I have says Northern on it and is stamped made in usa. I'd say either one would be equal to the other.

What fan are you using? Since these are bigger than stock radiator you'll want a bigger fan. I am using a 1995 or 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII fan. It draws a good amount of amps, but moves nearly as much air as a mechanical fan.

For fans I will be running my stock duals until I find a reason to swap. That is a simple weekend job so I am not forcasting time and effort into it now.

I will call the company today and learn more about it and post back.
