What rad to use for a 36 Terraplane
-
I am building a 36 Terraplane with a Ford Flathead for power, I can not modify and use the original rad because the bottom tank is to small to install a second outlet for the dual water pumps. Has anyone uses an after market rad that fits fairly decent? It does not have to be made for a flathead, I can modify it if it is set up for say a Chevy. The closest to the original dimentions that I could find was an alluminum by Griffin for a 31 Ford at around $600 - $700.

FYI
I put an model Stock Car Aluminum cross flow radiator in my '37 Terraplane with only slight altering. I had one outlet changed and fill using a small remote tank up above on a 329" Hornet Motor.
Those radiators are readily available at most swap meets new & used in many sizes $75 - $200.
PS; I can think of many better motors to install other than a flathead v8...
