Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality aluminum radiator that will fit my 1970 455 442. I would like it appear as stock as possible, with an electric fan.

70vista

I have a alumitech radiator to put in the 70 Vista I am doing. You will need the 4 core rad. brackets other than that it is a direct fit. I have not installed mine yet but it is a quailty piece.

FYI Electric Fan usually requires an alternator upgrade.
IIRC Stock alternator is a 10DN externally regulated 63amp alternator.
At idle is when the fans will come on , and that's when you're alternator
is only putting out half of what it should be.

Budget:
Advanced Auto = Ready Radiator OEM Aluminum replacement ~$120
Autozone = Spectre OEM Aluminum replacement ~$120

Mid Range
Griffin aluminum radiators = ~<$300 + Good reviews everywhere.

High End
Be Cool, Entropy, etc. = Wallet bleeds.

Here's the Entropy with the 1500cfm each fan x2

Or you can do a budget setup with the best OEM electric fan ever made.
I did a write up on it, and this is what's cooling my 1970 442 tribute.

ha ha...I bought an autozone radiator once,it's a good thing it came with a lifetime warranty,had to be replaced once a year because of leaks.

One cracked on me as well. I won't use them for radiators anymore.

I'm thinking an Entropy is in my future this summer.
Someone did a side by side on Nastyz28 with Griffin and Entropy and
said Entropy wins hands down. Mine in my '70 Olds is looking weathered.
