Default ITS FINALLY FIXED. Now what brand?

so we finally figured out it was the radiator. I am going to buy a radiator next paycheck and im just trying to figure out which one is good. I'm not trying to spend anything more than 300. I saw one on a website for 150. just a radiator nothing that special.

I don't plan on modding the car heavily as of right now. Just gonna work on making it sound nice, headers, h pipe and exhaust. And then i want to put gears and underdrive pulleys and thats about it as of right now. So i dont need anything that is for heavily modded cars.

You can get a Ford Racing aluminum radiator for under $300 dollars. Or you could just go to a local radiator shop and get a decent one for alot cheaper than a ford racing.

Just buy it new...sometimes you buy a used one and it comes with more holes than Pamela Anderson.

I used a BeCool radiator before...but it was like $275. It was a good radiator and held a schitload of coolant.

Never ran hot again.

Fluidyne make a great unit and also Griffin. Both are inexpensive and worth the $.

Good luck,
Ivan

I dont know if the sn-95 radiatr is the same as the fox one but if it is, just get a heavy duty Police package one. Its 4 core, I had an overheating problem if my car sat too long at idle. Put that Police package one in and havent had ANY problems since.

I picked up a nice 3 row radiator from my work for 140.00, go down to autozone or your local auto parts store and see if they can order you one.

You can get an aluminum stock replacement from dallas mustang or MMPparts.com for $200. It's the same as stock, but aluminum so it cools faster.... I love mine so far.
