Looking for a recommended brand and size of aluminum rad that would fit my 65 without too much modifying. Preferably one that would bolt in as original and adequate to cool a basic SB 350.

Your top hose is on the passenger side, correct?

On my 66 I put one in from Auto City classic and I've been very happy with it. It keeps my stock 427 nicely cooled.

I know I did a writeup here when I installed mine but for some reason it's hiding now. It's here somewhere...

You guys are in the wrong forum, can this be moved to be found easier in future for the 1965+ crowd?

 It's actually on the drivers side and not original. I got it from Jeggs to fit an Impala.

Thanks for the info and link.

This looks great and might work for my needs. Just not sure if the top outlet will be far enough over to clear the pulley set up. Will likely have change the hose if I can find one.
