Early radiator (71-73) needed
« on: January 11, 2013, 10:25:44 AM »
I can find a "new" stock radiator for my 72, I know I can have a new core put in my old one, but I'd like to know what other radiators you guys have used, that are close to stock size.
 
I can't go much wider than stock, as I need to keep room for the intercooler piping, I can have a custom built aluminum made for $650 ouch! :o

Fred, Is the 74 Mustang radiator the same as a 74 and up Pinto radiator? I looked at the later Pinto radiators, I'd have to swap the intlet and outlets for the 2.0L, or use my tanks. Do they have the same mounting holes?

I am runnin a '94 explorer rad from the 4.0l   .   Lots of volume, aluminum and cheap.  only needed a couple of saddles made for the bottom.  top is passenger  side bottom is on drivers.  should fit the hole and leave room for piping
Modest beginnings start with the single blow of a horn man..    Now when you get through with this thing every dickhead in the world is gonna wanna own it.   Do you know anything at all about the internal combustion engine?

I adapted one from an early 90's Dodge Dakota. It has the hoses on the correct sides & they are the correct sizes.
