    As some of you know now, im putting a T5 behind an Iron Duke 2.5 in a Ford Model A, 1929.

    My question now is, what radiator do i go with? I need something that can handle the power that the Iron duke has, but also something that fits under the original radiator shell and looks original. Would buying a remake of the original work? If it wouldnt, could someone point me to what would work online?

    Thanks guys.

    i looked into those, and as confident as i am that it will work, that budget isnt exactly there at that price. Cheapest i see them is for 800$

    Find a original and take it to a radiator shop and have it re-cored,,only problem with that is there is no warranty.

    BTW,yes Walker radiators are not cheap,,But I have had Walkers that are still in cars without a problem since the late 70's.HRP
