Hello Stangnet
I have an 89 mustang 5.0 with headers ram air, cats and straight pipes advanced timing. I made these mods about 20 yrs ago. The car ran a shade hot with those mods so I installed a heavy duty copper radiator kept the stock clutch fan. It worked fine for 20 years. Cant leave well enough alone with one of these cars. I just purchase a used mishimoto aluminum radiator and dual electric fan with supposedly 4 mos use. Installed with a switch and a relay. Fan works fine. Car however overheats immediately whether idleing or driving. I shut it down when it gets close to the red. The fans have small shrouds around them do I need a bigger one like stock. any help would be appreciated.
