    Have a 27 T radiator shell and trying to get a radiator to fit it. Sits on a crossmember so it can't drop below. Have an early Mustang - fits good but I think it's about 3" to tall. Tried to find a Ford Courier but no luck and I think it'll be to small on the capacity side. Running a mild small block Chevy. Just can't justify the high dollar route. Thanks, TJ

  2. If you can't find a core that's small enough to build yourself, you might be SOL.

    Buy a walker and be done with it. Costs a wad but well worth it.

    I agree, go for a good manufactured one especially how small T radiators are better to be sure you are going to be cool!!!

    You gotta go with a rad designed for the older T's, such as a 25 and older. They are shorter. I ordered one from Walker and was very happy with it.

    I'm using a radiator out of a forklift and heavy duty enough for a flathead V-8. I believe it's out of a Hyster forklift but what model I haven't a clue as I got it from a buddy of mine that had it sitting in his side yard with other stuff. He got it from where he works.
