    Yes I did do a search. No I don't want to buy a Walker. Before I have the stock refitted or have an aluminum one made has anyone found a radiator that will reasonably fit the stock 50 Ford bracket with the top hose connection on the right and the bottom on the left. I have a 351W in this 50. Thanks

    I run a stock 6cyl radiator in my '50 with a 302. Never gets too hot...ever. Been on the road for at least 10 years with this combo.
     
  6. I like the idea of the stock one if you can find a radiator shop to do the surgery.

    I'm using a 3 row from a '66 Mustang, easy install.

    Use your old flat head radiator, hook up the passenger side hose to the engine. Run the other top radiator hose to a bracket near the other side of the engine and block it off! Should freak some folks out! Then jus put a cap on the unused lower hose!
