An Aluminum radiator such as the one previously posted or the Fluidyne here will more than cool any Fire Breathing 289/302. This is how the fans were being mounted by Shelby in Las Vegas when I was redoing my car. This is a 16" Spal Fan. I agree with those advising against using the nylon tie straps but more so with an Aluminum core VS Brass as the fins are not as well attached and will ultimatey separate from the tubes due to the hanging weight of the fan, road and operational vibration, thermal expansion and heat cycling.
