I need a new radiator for my Cuda. It originally had a 26" radiator and now has a 20 or 22 that is going to be inadequate. Engine is a 340 that dyno'd at a conservative 460hp, so I'm going to need an efficient cooling system. I am switching to a manual trans so don't need the built in automatic trans cooler. I may put in AC in the future.

I ran across a barely used Be Cool 600038 two row, 1" tube radiator for a decent price. Does anyone one have any experience with this or a similar Be Cool radiator in your E-body? From the pics, it has the inlet and outlet pipes setup for a big block, but I can move them to opposite sides of the tank to work with my small block. I'm more concerned with their build quality and cooling efficiency. I'll be making up a full shroud and probably running an electric fan setup.

Any other positive experiences with different products? I don't need anything that looks OEM, I just want to have a system that will handle the cooling load.

I have one in a 71 Cuda. with a gen2 Hemi. It's 26" and I have had it about 20 years. No problems with it.
