I am curious if anyone has any radiator prefernces, I have to replace an OEM on my 92 and I am going to get an aftermarket obviously. I wish I could buy a nice polished looking one but it is unnessacary. If there are no big differences then I will probably get the ford racing one for like 250... any feedback would be appreciated!

I have the Ford Racing rad and it has been in my car 6 years now. Have not had any issues with it at all. it is a good piece in my opinion.

You cannot go wrong with the FRPP piece. I have a Milodon and it is great. Slightly larger than stock for about $210. But then I get a good buddy discount. If you plan on going crazy with mods make sure you get a good aluminum at least.

Got a beCool one, nice but can be a little more spendy, the thing is huge though, shouldn't ever have an overheating issue.

I have an aluminum radiator from Northern and its a nice piece. All welded and has holes to mount the fan shroud just like the stocker. I can't remember the price but it wasn't too expensive.

I have the ford racing one and after a year it developed a hole. I had one in my other car and never had a problem with it. It all depends on how much your willing to spend.

Click to expand...

Do you have AC or an auto trans cooler that will be located in front of the radiator?

IF not, then most likely the HD stock replacement (the 3-core unit) will be sufficient.

In the 90 GT with a 408w in my sig I have been using the 2 core unit...
My coolant temps were always dead steady at 200F, with a 195F stat.

Also, it depends on how hot the weather will get in your part of the country.

I've had 2 aluminum radiators, the first was a Summit unit, worked extremely well but the tubes started breaking off after about 3 years so I replaced it with an FRPP one a few months ago.
