I'm running the summit universal 31x19 with the aluminum shroud and fan kit. Cheapest out there and works great.
Good luck I heard alot of good things about the Fluidyne I just don't know if there worth $200 more.

eBay Motors: FORD MUSTANG 5.0 ALUMINUM RADIATOR 5 SPEED (item 300108825233 end time May-15-07 18:52:44 PDT)

Heres what I got... I did have a fluidyne about 5 years back and it leaked, Fluidyne replaced it after giving me a whole lot of shit saying I did not run the proper 50/50 mix with distilled water, but they finally gave in, and sent a new one, I needed a new rad so I bought one very similar to this one, and its worked without as hitch.

Where did it leak from?

from the endtank, anyone can tell it was a bad tig job. My biggest argument with them, was that it was supposed to be pressure tested right???? Each Fluidyne has its own serial number, and for some odd reason, they did not have the serial number on file for QC or ISO inspection....

I'm running the Fluidyne as well, love it. Never goes above 185. Bought it from Summit, cheapest I found at $329. They will beat anyone's advertised price.

3 core griffin. I didn't buy this one. Came with the car. I did buy the exact radiator a few years ago from Idle Wild Racing. They where the only ones that had it in stock and I needed it bad.

I ran a 3-core Griffin in the '87 vert. Worked great. The Flexalite fan was a big piece of shit though (same fan you have now).
