doing the heads/intake on my lx
so far-gt40yheads, explorer intake&TB, thinking of using my 95Gt's MAF
now should i buy a new radiator?? water pump???

I would get a new water pump. I got a www.stewartcomponents.com water pump. I would upgrade the radiator as well to at least a 3 core copper/brass unit. It's just so easy to do it now.
