Last year I put in an aluminum F body rad - just bought it from the local auto parts store. It fit perfect and was fairly cheap - can't recall exact $$.
I think they are $75 bucks. And work very well in most cases. But in my case, it seems that extra cubes from a stroker, a huge front mount, an AC system that works very well with a parallel flow condensor that exchanges a lot of heat, and south TX temps seem to be to much for it. That is why I'm putting a rad in from Redc5. I put one in a car and it stayed in the 170's dyno'ing all day in a shop that was near 100 degree with high Houson humidity. after a pull it dropped right back down to 165. And this was with both coolers being run through it.

LOL, there's no way I can justify paying that much for a rad. I have a Griffin from summit, no coolers for around $189. Are shiny end tanks nice...yeah, are they needed or worth $1k.....nope

I have a $78 Fbody radiator in my T and a $500 aluminum drop in replacement for my stock GN which has stock like tranny and oil coolers, from Gbodyparts.com. Both are good. MY has no oil cooler. Both cars run a dedicated tranny cooler and doesn't route through the radiator. The GN uses the stock oil cooler lines to the alum radiator from gbodyparts- its perfect in that regard as the fbody doesn't have the oil cooler fittings.
Redc4?
