Okay guys...what rads are you using and are you happy with them ? Did they come with fans/shroud ?

I used a triple pass aluminum radiator from Eastwood. Was on sale couple years ago for $100 and, I believe, the fan and shroud were another $150-200. Biggest problems were the lack of an integrated trans cooler and the bottom outlet was on the driver's side, so I had to figure out a lower hose. Overall, been pretty happy with it, no overheating issues at all.

I'll be using a new OE 26" and the stock fan shroud with an electric fan hidden inside.  No mechanical fan.  Makes finding hoses a challenge but in my opinion to retrofit a new style rad looks funky.

I am using a Champion radiator with V6 Ford contour fans, so far it works pretty well overall.

I only run on low speed for cooling and high for a/c

I was wondering about using the factory late model stuff, since it was designed to match the 5.7.  Was the radiator easy to mount in an e-body?  Any fitment issues?  Are you also using the factory cooling fans?
