There were two different sizes/types of radiators in the 67/68 Mustang. Non A/C cars had a 20" wide unit. It is realy easy to bolt in by drilling 4 new holes.
The best one to get is the 24" wide. It is a clamp-in design. The clamps will run you about $90 unless you can source some used ones. That one requires some trimming of the core support, but is not a big deal.
Here is a picture of the 24" in my 66.
I have most of the info you will need on my web site article on same.
If you put one of those 24" units in your car with a factory shroud, it will cool sufficiently. That is the same setup the 428CJ cars had. I still do not understand why everyone wants to complicate the heck out of things with an electric fan, but to each their own... As for aluminum radiators...I just purchased a new Griffin to replace the one in the picture. (The body shop damaged the brand new brass one that was in it). I looked around alot and Griffin was the only one that had tanks that would accept the factory clamps. At least as far as I could tell. Maybe there is a cheaper one that has them. And Griffin makes two versions. One has dual row of 1" tubes. Other has dual row of 1.25" tubes.
67-69 radiators had lower inlet on passenger side. 70 has it on driver side. Same hoses fit these radiators as the ones that fit the 17" radiators.
