Default need good opinion on Radiator

just like title says I have a 418 that it think could use some cooling benifits of a radiator and oil cooler.

Just wondering what is out there and what some of you are using and how easy they were to put in

I've had good luck with the BeCool radiator and an external plate style cooler for the oil.

BeCool direct-fit.
It wasn't as pricey as some of the quotes I've seen.
I believe it was $450.

LT1 radiator is dirt cheap and about 50% more core fin
area. Try that and if you're still not satisfied, you're out
like 50 bucks (if you're patient on eBay).

I run a cheap Jeg's dual-pass ($230) with a separate B&M oil cooler, car runs 170° all day with the A/C on and I'm in SETX about 90 miles east of Houston...
