5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
The 3 row in the Mustang has sprouted a leak. I was told it leaked, but I guess from sitting so long the hole got plugged with corrosion. I ordered a radiator, but they sent a 1 row aluminum (I think) radiator, will that be enough to cool a 302? It doesn't have many mods, just 3.73 gears, Flowmaster exhaust, cold air intake and possibly ported heads, nothing crazy. I don't know why it has a 3 row, that seemed like overkill to me. Did these come stock with a 1 row?

One thing, if they are copper and brass radiators, they are always painted black...correct? This one has black tanks, but looks like the core is aluminum.
I'm still using the original 4 cyl radiator in my 92 I converted to a 5.0 and has worked fine for the last 5 years with no overheating at all, 180 all day long
