95 5.0 running pretty hot

My mustang always had heating issues in Texas heat. The problem is the crappy stock radiator.

I ran with manual fan switch as well but it still couldn't always keep up in stop and go traffic with a/c on.

One day on a road trip, my radiator let go. I ordered the Summit universal radiator, which you will find threads for on this forum. BEST mod I ever did.

I could run the car with no fan at all usually and only needed the fan around town in heat. I ran this setup with a 180 stat and loves it. it is quite a big thicker and was not hard to install. You do some flipping of stock mounts and it works. I also made a hold down strap for the top and bolted that to an existing hole in the engine bay.

do yourself a favor.

This is a performance mod as well. My car ran consistently 1.5 mph faster at the track when it was under 185 degrees. at 200 degrees it would slow down quite a bit. I had a mechanical autometer so I could always peak on the c-pillar and see if it was read for a pass.
