So I've only got so much green to spend and I NEEDED a radiator ASAP. I pick up a Ready Rad radiator at Advanced Auto, it's what they had in stock. Supposedly ok for a stock replacement. Ok, the thing doesn't fit. I double checked online and crossed reffed the numbers directly off the radiator. 433556 . yep thats the number for 5.0 stangs of this year with Auto trans and A/C. First, the radiator end supports are way too wide on drivers side.. Can't even get it to fit into rubber supports.. So I fix it so it does fit..the supports that is. Now the top bolt down supports wont fit on the drivers side.. again, too wide on radiator. and last .. when I try to put the fan shroud back in, I cannot align the shroud screws on toP without having the fan blade get jammed on the bottom. This is garbage. No way this will work ... period.
Tell me, what is a decent radiator that will FIT and not cost me an arm and a leg?
