Need a radiator

I was hoping someone on here could help me find what the best radiator to use in my 90RS would be. I'm building up a 383 for it, and keeping the AC.

Re: Need a radiator

Thanks for the offer, but I'm really looking for something new, and an aluminum one. More so trying to find the proper specs and what I should use.

Re: Need a radiator

Your factory radiator will work up to 450hp with the dual fan set up.

Griffin and BeCool probably make the best "direct fit" radiators that require the smallest amount of massaging to get to drop in.

Ozz has good advice too . And your welcome ! And the one I linked you to is the same one I have and dropped right in , works great. Be cool and Griffin are great too, owned a few just the price sucks.

Re: Need a radiator

Thanks guys. I was kind of lost as to what size radiator to use. There's a place in town where I'm from that builds them cheap and warranties them. Thank for helping me be a more informed consumer. The way I'm setting up my 383 it should be at maybe 420hp.well see. As long as it scared me I'll be happy.
