I would look at the thermostat 1st, then maybe at water pump and rad. My stock rad with an elecrtic fan does the job great.

stat and water pump are new less than 500 miles on both

Sounds like your radiator may be plugging up, take it to a radiator shop and have it checked out... Normally they will check it out for free in anticipation you'll buy a reamed (rebuilt), $50-$100... Also, if you got a clutch fan, if it's wearing out, it will give you the same symptoms... If you buy from a junk yard, you may be buying an already plugged up one...

I got my 3 row radiator brand new from my work (Parts Plus franchise). Go to your local auto parts store and tell them that you need a 3 row radiator for your 19XX 5.0 mustang. Mine works great and looks great. The best part is that it was only like $164.00 .

but if i bought one at an auto parts store i would want a better one. I only buy interior pieces at junkyards, just kinda curious what is better and what will bolt right up. It would be nice to find a 3 core aluminum rad that will bolt right up then i can go down to autozone and get one (i get 20% off).
