Hello,

I'm swapping a 350 in place of a 250. I'm currious what size replacement radiator i should get. I'm looking into getting a griffen universal aluminum rad. from summit or jegs and using an external tranny cooler.

Thanks,

Keith

I have heard good things about the aluminum radiators--if you are willing to spend the money. Unless you are putting in a really hot motor, etc., a stock replacement 3 or 4 core should be sufficient (and cheaper).

I would get a 4 core radiator. I got mine from htp://www.radiators.com and came with a lifetime warranty.
