Radiator Upgrade

Guys
Since i am putting my 69 cutlass back together i want to upgrade the cooling to handle the 455 i put in. I want to go with an aluminum radiator and then put an electric fan on it. I am rewiring the car anyway so it is a good time todo this. I am looking for suggestions on aluminum radiators that bolt right in and fan options. I about fell out of my chair when i looked up summit.

Now i got a ford buddy that picked up a aluminum radiator cheep and then went to the junk yard and pulled a radiator fan out of Taurus and wired it to cool his drag car. Mine will be driven on the street so looking for a cheep combination.

I used a dual fan setup out of a junkyard 2000 or so dodge stratus. I have not hooked it up yet but there is another thread here that is pretty detailed about this conversion.

Alumitech is the only way to go.

100% USA made

Top quality

Spray it with Eastwood radiator paint, and it looks 100% stock.
