    Biggest most massive 4 core rad for a 68 Barracuda?

    Im looking for a bolt in swap for the weak factory junk. I want this to be the last radiator i buy for this thing. Will be cooling a hot, hi-compression, 4 speed shifted small block for now, but future plans include much more, so, need great cooling capacity. Thanks!

    Any Barris body kit repros available? 68 cuda
