Re: electric fan and radiator
I can only recommend what not to buy, Griffin. Epoxy, not welded and won't hold up.

Re: electric fan and radiator
I'm leaning toward Champion ( see link below ). They have a 3 row with a dual fan shroud and fans for a pretty good price point. All welded aluminum.

Re: electric fan and radiator
I used a champion in my 72. Very nice radiator, works great, and fit perfectly. One of the better inexpensive parts I've purchased

Re: electric fan and radiator
Here's your answer.http://www.speedcooling.com/1967_197..._Radiator.html
I've running this radiator in my 72 for the past 3 summers in Hot West Texas with A/C for over 11,000k miles with no issues. I'm not running their fan set up but at $449 for a complete set up, not bad. Also, a good 2core radiator will cool better. It's counter intuitive. More rows is not better.

Re: electric fan and radiator
I just got rid of this JUNK that was in my truck. Went through 2 of them in 5 months. I now have a Holley frostbite, it looks very similar to the champion radiator. I fun F-body fans with it. Seems to be doing well so far. R&D also makes a nice aluminum radiator.
