Default Any Radiator kit recommendations?

I started this frame off restoration about four years ago. After a three year break I finally decided to start working on it again. Today I installed a pair of Hooker headers and side pipes from Jet Hot. My next step is to install a radiator. In the past I was looking at DeWitt or Be Cool radiator kits. I want to purchase a kit with rad, fan, and hardware. What do you guys recommend? I have a 72' Stingray, Auto, w/ A/C (removed tho), SB stroked 383 w/ an estimated 440hp. After I figure out a radiator setup I still need:
• Carb
• Fuel pump
• Pulleys
• Water pump
• Air cleaner
• Distributor
Any advice is much appreciated!
V/R
Jon

Hey Jon, We make several radiator and fan kits, for your car, depending on what it was originally equipped with. Did it have air or automatic? If so this would be are best cooling option, SP032. It will come with radiator, dual 11" Spal fans, all the wiring and hardware you will need. We also put the temp sensor in the radiator for you.

Yes, it had A/C, but I removed it and it is auto (T400). Thank you! What do you recommend if the A/C is removed?
