Default Help on choosing Radiator!!!

Hi all. I currenty own a 95' mustang gt and I want to buy an aluminum 2 row radiator for it. The reason I want to do this is because it gets very hot (too damn hot!!!) were I live. Im talking between 110 to 117 degrees F for the months of June, July and August. My mustang does not overheat unless I turn on the A/C, so thats why I dont use my A/C. Another problem she has is that she pings alot during these summer days, and I figure that puny 1 row stock radiator is not enough, so thats why I wanna get a 2 row aluminum radiator. Any suggestions on what brand to get given that I dont want to spend over $400 for one. Oh, and I have a AODE. Im not concerned about the tranmission cooling, as I'll also buy a dedicated transmission cooler for my AODE.

Any suggestions will be appriciated.

Why not buy a 3 row? Seems like the smart move to me.

I though only 1 and 2 row radiators fit. If it were up to me, I'd put in a 4 row if they exist!!! Who makes 3 row radiators for 95 GT's????? I gotta chech em out!

My fault, I thought they made 3 rows for the SN95s but I guess not. I've checked a few places and none of them carry them. Sorry and my fault. 2 row should be fine if you can find one.

Go for a Fluidyne Rad. They're expensive but a wise investment and it eliminates having to buy a new rad down the road if you choose to supercharge your stang.
