Try this one from e-bay, it's what I'm using and does a good job.     http://www.ebay.com/itm/351323855024?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Looks good and shinny BUT the inlet and outlet are on the same side of radiator and will allow the water to flow in a straight line from top to bottom. Because of this, the rest of the water will not flow very well and cause hot spots and overheating. Any radiator man worth a damn will tell you the same thing. Look at your Pinto radiator and you'll see where they should be.

The radiator I use will have to be bolted from the outside (front) of the core support, that was why I ask, and thanks dick, I would not have used his suggestion, I had a 67 2+2 w/302 all it did was overheat, till I put a Galaxy radiator in it... I too prefer cross flow radiator, I havn't got any decent recommendation s so I think I am just gonna order the 77 Maverick 3 core cross flow
