In the first iteration of my 74 5.0L powered 260, I used a 3 core datsun 280Z radiator with no problem. The engine had the Ford clutch fan, no shroud, and about 8" clearance between the fan and radiator. The car would idle all day long in 95 degree traffic and never get over 185 (thermostat setting).

 

I have since switched to a griffin 24 x 19 radiator, and a '95 mustang electric fan. Again I am having no problems.

 

 

My 5.0L has about 350 hp at the flywheel.

i'm running the HOWE rad -- NICER looking that the Griffin IMO-

performance bodies.com sells it for like $189 nice rad works well

i've installed a blackmagic fan and driving thru Norcal in the summertime never got past 195 so works well
