What you have is an older Ford radiator. Current technology uses cross flow core for more efficient cooling. Your application and sizing can be converted to that type or you can duplicate what you have. Keep in mind you can use a aluminum radiator of a smaller size and still have the same cooling capacity. Some of the cross flow radiators do not have provisions for radiator caps. Usually a surge tank has to be incorporated or a cap & neck in the top hose. Pick up a current copy of Circle Track Magazine. There are many inexpensive radiators advertised in it.
