Ok maybe not OEM stock but stock sized four core CSF radiator from rockauto. Any issues running this with a Ramjet V8. I have of beefy looking (but leaking) aluminum radiator now. I know the CSFs are fine with a 2F. All good for a V8 swapped truck as well?

I've been running CSF with a mechanical fan and V8 swap for a long time. Works just fine for me.
no issue. I have a clone of the OEM 4 core radiator, running 5.7 vortec, GM fan clutch and fan from like a 97-99 5.7 (GM Truck) and a fabricated fan shroud. I had to modify the passenger side water neck at the bottom of the radiator to move it to the far passenger side to clear the fan but has worked well. Have A/C too.

Yep, I really don't really care that much I guess.
Use one of the big old school clutch fans and a shroud and the stock FJ60 radiators work just fine.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the replies. I’ve got electric fans but I don’t think it’ll be tough to mount all that up to a new radiator.
I guess the next question… do I try to find a new AC condenser while the radiator is out so I can hook up some AC!

Depend on the condition of your condenser and are you willing to make custom AC lines. I used cool hoses parts in my v8 swap thread

I use a Vintage Air universal condenser.
Don't remember the exact size and made some simple brackets to attach it to the core support. Pretty simple actually.

I'm running the Mosley Motors LS swap radiator. Fit was pretty good and my LS is running cool at 190-191 degrees on average here in AZ.

I’ll have to zone out at work tomorrow and check some other radiator options 
For the condenser, I’ll check out cool hoses and Vintage air. My condenser has been uncapped for years. I have some new lines that came with my truck when I bought it but I figure a new condenser is probably in order. Same with my compressor. It’s been uncapped for a long time as well. I’m not totally sure why it was ever disconnected.
