« on: August 19, 2015, 09:44:25 AM »
so i want to replace  my rad cause there is pin hole in and wanted to know what is the best. i'm not sure if i want to drop in my 289 or go 2.3 turbo.  would a V8 mustang II rad fit?   thanks

Yeah, the m2 radiator will fit. But if you have a pin hole, that's easily accessible, just solder it.
1976 half hatch 2.3 turbo w/t5.

so anyone have a pic of the mustang II rad in your pinto/bobcat.  I have a mustang II v8 rad and just wondering how everyone installed them.
