Be careful about saving a few bucks. Can be more headaches than what it is worth.

My 57 has a radiator I got from Concourse Parts (before new ownership) and it fit like a glove. I upgraded the radiator, because mine seemed like it didn't hold enough coolant when I pulled the hose. I also bought the shrould, and the 6 blade fan. I think I had a short spacer from Speedway in my pile of goodies I used to maximize the fan depth.

It was nice not having to relocate mountings, or fluid lines.
