radiator, shroud, thermal fan .. 65-250

Aluminum radiator got a leak in it
and although my last motor was running on 5 cylinders spewing smoke it never overheated
I've got the regular 4 blade Metal fan and aluminum radiator that's too tall and not wide enough and no fan shroud
also an electric fan on the outside of the radiator pushing towards the motor

I basically need a new radiator and I would like to find a radiator that will fit in the previous Stock place, which in turn I believe will give me room to install a thermal clutch and another fan

Clutch sits just over 3" .. So clutch and fan probably not more than 4
Also going to make a fan shroud ( out of metal trashcan most likely) and make sure to replace the rubber strips around the shroud

I overheated and lost enough coolant that the temperature on my gauge broke the gauge(or sender)

Going to scraping the coast in MS in two weeks and need to get thus rectified
