I'm using a Griffin alum. rad. ordered from summit, it was about 1/2 the price of a new stock radiator and a lot lighter.

Last one I bought was throught the local radiator shop and was made by Modine. It was a 3 row using 1/2" cores. It's a '78 style with the cap on the tank. I'll see if I can dig up a part number.
Many moons ago I had gotten one from Ready-Rad through a partshouse, but not sure if they are still around. I'm almost 100% positive that you can still get the Modine units.

Was the filler on the hose just a bad idea? Those of you who have had experience with it what can you say about it, obviously Ford abandoned the idea, as far as I know, so was there some inherent flaw?

have you heard of or tried Radiator.com

currently on eBay mustang-corral-inc is selling a Mustang II radiator for $479.95 with the filler on the unit itself, he says he has 3 in stock, blus $24.95 for shipping, for that much I recon you can drop a generic alumininininoom one and have money left over for a six pac

here's the pic of it, and the link to the auction

Not a factory II radiator.

Do you need one for an automatic or stick transmission?

Maybe a standard photo of "A" radiator.

That photo is not at all like my radiator.

My tanks are on top and bottom with a cap on top.

As Dano 78 said... I think mine is a Modine. I bought it 20+ Years ago from a Radiator shop.

I got mine new from Autozone a couple years ago. Don't remember what I paid, seems like it was somewhere around $250. Filler neck on the top tank, 3 row, provisions for the auto trans lines.
