Where is the best place to get a new radiator for 1935 Ford coupe with original flathead v8?

These are the only folks I know of that make brand new, correct original style and fit radiators. Made in the USA.

I wouldn't care if it has new style core. It needs to fit original configuration.

How do I tell early or late build? does it matter for fit?

I just looked at the brassworks site and looks like the late style has larger tank. Mine has early style, question will the later style fit? because I want as much cooling capacity as possible.

Check with Johnsons radiators in Alabama.

Ask Lee at Brassworks. He'll answer your questions. He explained everything that I needed to know for a radiator for my '39 p/u with an 8ba. Ended up with a 4 row which fit perfectly.

These guys built me a custom radiator a while back. Very nice.

FYI, probably unnecessary but...

be aware the EBay has a massive number of what might be advertised as 1935 ford radiators, but they're actually made to fit a more modern OHV chevy v8. like a chevy 350.

let's just say that some of the advertising is less than clear on that point...to be fair, i suspect the ambiguity is not necessarily intentional.
