Default radiator for 63 nova

been looking for about an hour now and i'm having a hard time. so, does anybody have any advice on what kind of radiator to use for my app? i obviously want a radiator that can support between 400-450 hp. but, i'd like it to be as direct fit as possible and preferably with water pump suction/return spigots both on the passenger side to make hose routing as easy as possible. if it helps, i'll be using a mustang II front end of some sort...haven't decided which one to use yet. thanks a bunch.

Doesn't look it's offered for the 1st gens...66-71...as usual. The first gens never get any love. Thanks for the effort though. It's appreciated.
