Browsing around on google today, looking for something that will change up the bay's appearance greatly, while giving me some "performance" gains.

I ran across this radiator. Since when did Mishimoto put out a radiator for our 64-66's? Might have to get the wife to get it for me for my B-day!

Looks like a cheaper alternative to the Be cools, and other aluminum radiators... plus it comes with a lifetime warranty!

Just get a Northern. They have been making alum rad for Mustangs for years now. I have a 65 stang with a 347 400+ hp and it cools just fine. Just be sure to have a good fan. They are using a newer method to manufacture these that actual makes them stronger and cool better than some of the higher priced ones(Be Cool, Griffin) Has to do with how they weld them together. My brother is an engineer for Northern so I have first hand experiance on how they are built. Cost a lot less than what you are looking at also.
 
Fluidyne and Griffin make good rads too. I have a Fluidyne that I got from Mustangs Unlimited and it works great. I have heard good things about Northern, but have not used one before. Isn't Summit brand Northern?
 
I hate searching through websites, only to have to contact the company with additional questions. Maybe it is just me, but I hate searching through websites/FAQs, and still having to contact them regarding basic information like price, warranty information etc.
 
A couple of days ago I installed a alu $200 3-row Champion radiator, from ebay, on mine '67 with a 289. It was a perfect fit, and it cools my engine great - at least that's my impression after ~200 miles and a lot of idleing.
 
^^ not sure if I like the sound of the 30 day warranties from the link you posted thekid760. I would have a bad taste in my mouth from the experience if the radiator decides to crap out shortly outside that time frame.
 
How come it says 30 day return towards the top of the auction? I didn't see the lifetime thing you brought up. I also tried searching for their website and came up with nothing. Do they do everything via ebay? :o
