Yeah, it's an automatic. I got the 4 core radiator from Auto City Classic (800) 828-2212. I believe he called it a "Desert Cooler" or something like that. The 6 blade fan is available through all T-Bird part houses.

The 312s installed in full size Fords did not use the water pump spacer that T-Birds did, so water pump could not effectively moved the coolant. The idea of the baffle is that is creates a wall closer to the water pump impeller that improves flow. I was told it was BS, but it helped me and it theoretically makes sense.
