What Radiatior?

[InitialB]

I am replacing my radiator and the two options are a radiator for a mustang with max cooling A/C or one with rgular A/C well I have the max A/C but I did the A/C delete kit so can I get the one for regular a/c or still get the one for max a/c theres about 100.00 different in price. Thanks for any help.

The one with Max Cooling is a 3 row. You can buy one from Autozone for $160.99. I would go for this one.
The stock replacement radiator is $99 but it is a 2 row. If you have the opportunity to upgrage I would do it now.

I would get a afco universal fit aluminum for $179 w/free shipping off ebay. My choice.

I bought a 3 core HD one off of ebay for $119 and it works great. With a 180* stat it stays right at 180*, but of course the temp outside has only been in the 70's.

I purchased a 3 core radiator for a '93 Cobra. The price wasn't that much more, and I have had no cooling problems with my stroker. Well, not unless you count mounting the radiator too low compared to the taller 351W block.

Just got mine last week...31" x 19" x 3" thick. $189, and all aluminum...

The $30 more over a parts store 3 row is worth it IMO...

I got a replacement 2row radiator from Autozone when I did the motor in my sig (short on money), and I have no overheating problems. If you have the money definately go with the 3row radiator though. Then you should have no worries of overheating if you ever decide to go with more aggressive motor mods, ya know....get the 3row and play it safe.

I too run the 3 core from autozone on my GT and it seems fine. I originally had it on the LX and then the GT was having problems, so I put the 2 core in the LX (it's fine) and the 3 core in the GT and it's fine too

The Alum. radiators are more for weight savings than better cooling; aluminum holds more heat. All of the radiators mentioned above would probably be fine though unless you have a hardcore setup.

I have a 31x19 Griffin Radiator on my car and it is my daily driver (only car)...

It truely is one of my best mods I have did - it cooled the car way down on the highway at cruising speeds...lets say I sit at idle for a while and the car starts to heat up...I can get up to 30mph and you can actually watch the temp guage drop at a good rate when that radiator utilizes the oncoming air...it works great

9 months and no problems and not expecting any...

I got the 31x19 Radiator (Circle Track Series)...you have to bend out the factory radiator brackets - flip the bottom radiator hose around and trim a bit off of the hose - and slightly bend the a/c condensor lines out of the way (really not even necessary)...and that is that...it is considerably wider than the stock one...

The only complaint I have which is my fault is I don't have an overflow tank for it...

Oh and you need to buy a radiator cap seperately - It is like $12 bucks...

Here is the one I got:

There is a link under "suggested parts" that will link you to the correct radiator cap...

Very glad I got it
