Does anyone have any ideas of what kind and where to find a good radiator for my build?
Thanks

I am also looking for one for a sbc350 dd, should I bother with getting one from classic or floral or just order one from summit. If I get one from summit or jegs do I just put a higher pressure cap on the filler neck on the radiator than what is on the burb tank or get it welded up.

you can use any radiator. put a 17 # on radiator and a 7# on your expansion tank. will do fine.

Why pay more for the same if not better radiator! I love and preach alumitec for rudders headers hardware and more but summit has the best radiators. 100% aluminum triple pass without tranny cooler. Btw alumitec has the cheapest burp tanks too.

I bought mine from summit for 180 and just took it to my buddy and had him weld a piece of aluminum in the cap hole.

Does it matter whether the inlet is on the upper right or left side of the radiator?
Thanks for all the replies!

For me it did but that was because of poor planning. I think the inlet outlet is determined by placement and bracing to the cage or motorstand

If you buy a Ford radiator for your Chevy the lower rad pipe will be on the same side as the water pump inlet. Saves piping crossing to the other side. I used a Four seasons Radiator, seems well built and single pass, double and triple pass. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=fsr+radiator[*]

I also use the radiator Wild Bill posted. I used the 19x31" for my DD caddy and it keeps it at 120* no problem. Reasonably priced, too.
