are you replacing it with an aftermarket performance radiator, or just stock?

should be one of those "undo/remove stuff thats in my way" job.

done them on my 93 3.8L tbird and 95 Mark 8. both times have slid out from the top after draining, disconnecting hoses and removing mounting tabs.

It's EASY on this car. Hardest part about it is draining the coolant since there is no fecking drain plug!!!!!!!
