Hey guys, need some help from you Fox experts.

This kit is pretty complete--is SVE good quality? This looks like a great price.

SVE Mustang Aluminum Radiator

I've heard of SVE but never bought from them and never really heard much about them. Would appreciate your input.

I bought this rad when they went on sale for $150 over the holidays.. It's going in the car this week with the new motor. Looks nice enough.. I didn't buy that kit though, just the rad.

Jarrod, what exactly does "house brand" mean please? Are SVE parts US or Chinese made. Are these rebranded parts from another manufacturer? Thanks

Some are made right here in the USA, some are made over seas. House brand means the specs are for us, and made at the specs we send to the manufacture. Just like the 50Resto parts. That is our brand for restoration products, and SVE is our brand for performance products.

Jarrod: Thanks for the offer. Right now my question is more about customers who have experience with the radiator I linked to. If I have product questions I'll definitely be in touch.

Happy to report that the rad fits perfectly in the car.. all the hoses and hardware fit like a glove.. It's a very nice piece especially considering the price point. I'll let you know in another few days how it performs.. at least how it performs in the cold lol.

Jarrod@latemodel I'm curious on the specs of the radiator. core thickness, height, width, each tube size, how many tubes, tube separation, veins per inch? also very curious who makes your radiator?

I took the cap off one and just looked down the neck, it looks as if its right in the area. It could be 9/16", it could be 5/8".
