A slightly desperate kludge, possibly workable, and almost certainly capable of cooling a banger, though not a flathead:
Several rodders have reported that '65 type Mustang radiators, readily available in repro, can go into Ford shells. Not exactly a fit, but small enough and so no conflict.
In a '32 shell it would be decently hidden from public view and shame and could probably be hung in their with fairly simple strapping...or maybe the side straps from your deceased radiator as a foundation. Almost certainly low enough so cap would not be a prob.
Don't know which side hoses go to on early Mustangs...assuming use of parts house curved hoses, upper wouldn't matter much, lower might...just don't raise your hood in public!
