    Looking for a radiator for mine too. Need to cool a V8 and found somebody's link on here to an aluminum 3 core that said it could handle up to 400hp and fit in our vans. Can't recall where I saw it or who posted it but I want to give it a try. From what I remember it was available through several online vendors and ebay as well. I'll give you the link when I find it again. It was less than $300 I believe.

    For the Ford radiator you found, as long as it fits in the doghouse and the inlet/outlet arrangement works with your motor you should be OK provided it's big enough to handle your engine's cooling needs. Electric fans are very helpful according to what I've read here. Mines not running yet but I plan on taking the electric fan route when it is. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

    Work has been crazy, So I have not had a lot of time. I still have to fab some mounts for the radiator. I'll show some pics when I can, but thank for the replies.
    Happy vanning to all. ~ GK.
