Radiator suggestions

I have 72 c10 with a 402bb originally I have been restoring but got rid of the old shot one about 2 years ago to clean out some space in the garage. so I am looking for one to fit in the original brackets and big enough cool a 1000hp 454 bb going in it. I heard of be cool radiators. at this point not sure what size to get or if you guys recommend any other radiators that work just as good. also its hooked up to th400 with original trans lines

thank you

I used this direct bolt in for my stock 350. Works great!

Re: Radiator suggestions

1000 hp big block you are going to need the biggest radiator you can fit. Yes DeWitts is a good suggestion. I would check over on LS1 Tech their cooling section. Some of those guys a re running big hp engines.
