The one from Fluidyine works in many cars. Not sure what dimensions you need though.

I'd recommend a 2 pass radiator if you can find one to fit. I originally had a 4 row single pass radiator in my CR and it worked fine until stop n go traffic on a 95 degree plus day, then it was marginal. I changed it out for an aluminum 2 pass radiator and now the temperature stays steady even on the hottest of days and worst of traffic. I had the 2 pass custom made by Mattson's "The Fan Man" ( https://the-fan-man.com/ ) so it would mount in the same places as the previous radiator. They do quality work and can make a nice looking shroud with electric fan mount for you as well.

I bought an AFR 2 pass radiator for my Miura project car from Summit so there are some off the shelf options for them as well.

I mistakenly gave you a wrong company name for a radiator. It's actually AFCO and the model is 80119N that I used in my Miura. It might be too tall for a Cobra but at the price certainly worth taking some measurements: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/afc-80119n

Hey Bulldog,
I was able to make this one fit with some modifications to the frame...
(19x24 and 3” thick)

How many rows is the radiator? 2 or 3?

Thanks everyone for reply’s on rad r and r Bulldog

Sorry- just saw this. I can’t remember how many rows it is. You can shoot them an email- they’ll respond fairly quickly.
Oh- and when I said modifications to the frame, I meant radiator frame. Not the car frame. I had to cut the brackets at the top and bottom that hold on the radiator and weld in extensions as it’s much thicker than the stock one. You’ll also need larger isolators. It was a fair bit of finicky work to get it all together, but it’s much bigger than the stock one and solid aluminum.
I might have some pictures if you’re interested. Shoot me a dm(so I see it) if you’d like them.
Cheers
