Default Radiator Question

What is the best radiator that can be mounted in the stock mounts without any fab for a 383 stroker?

THE BEST is Tom Dewitts' he's a sponsor here, gotta know it even cools big blocks n the summertime with a/c on....however i'ts pricey....
but it's got shrouds, fans, and all aluminum radiator in a kit which works fine...

but MY cheap azzed solution was a single row aluminum rad from a later '89 camaro, and a '87 vette 16 inch fan mounted in original shroud....works fine...

but I only have near 400 hp in a 355, so maybe it's not for you...dunno....

What about the b cool radiator? Will this be enough? Should I be looking at a 3 or 4 core rad? With the amount I have spent on this project already I am not overly concerned with price... just want to reamin as stock looking as possible. That has been my goal from teh start and is something I am not willing to compromise too much.
