Radiator HELP
 
ok, I have a 90' mustang, and there is multiple-small-coolant leaks scattered underneath the car after I drive it.... I know its not a gasket

NOW, i did replace the entire engine along with a heater core, but didn't replace its hoses... and there is steam coming from that side... but no coolant...after i shut it off
I think the radiator is leaking and the stock fan is throwing coolant all around the engine.... which radiator do u think is best?

Billet filler neck and 2 1" cores (compared to the 3/4" cores on the 50 resto peice)

I'm ordering mine tomorrow. If you've got a few days to wait, I can let ya know how it looks when it gets here.

25% more money and 15% less cooling area... I'll pass...

You don't wanna do that... The plastic tanks are held on with glue and bent over metal tabs from the core. They're notorious for leaking.

So... whatever you do, get something with steel tanks of one form or another.
