i did a google search and this was the first place that came up

http://mustang.c-f-m.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=22

it sucks that the 96 ones are almost $100 more than the 94-95 ones....and about $50 more than the 97-00 radiator....

The Steeda is a good radiator.

Just like anything else, you get what you pay for.

The difference in price between radiators is in the cost of the core itself, as all the other pieces, tanks, fittings, etc are pretty much fixed.

ie;, a piece of aluminum to build a tank or to machine a fitting costs the same for Fluidyne, Griffin, C&R or whoever.

The core is the most vital piece in the equation, as it is where the heat transfer and efficiency either happens or doesn't!

An all furnace-brazed core (no epoxy fillers) costs more, but is worth the cost in the long run for performance and reliability.
