Radiator and Suspension
Looking for a 3 core radiator, and upper and lower control arms. Problem is what i think will fit, I'm told they will not. Can someone tell me if the Mustang parts will fit my 1988 turbo coupe. Thank you for the info.
Controll arms no radiator yes not sure if its a auto though
Are you looking for stock control arms or something better?
Get a Mustang Aluminum radiator. I have Summit Racing branded aluminum rads (2 core, but the cores are 1" wide) in both my Tbirds. They are built VERY solid and cooling is amazing.
Check with Maximum Motorsports and/or CHE Performance for T-bird specific control arms.
Dont be stuck on how many rows a radiator has. What i found that is important is how wide the row is. In many cases the two row is better at cooling than a 3 row.
Good point I got a big racing radiator in the mustang and its only a 2 row
I recently went to a local radiator shop (they are getting harder to find). He ordered up a new two row aluminum which was built very well for $193 including tax. Usually they can have them same day as they are sourced from a local warehouse. As stated earlier the rows are much larger in this aluminum radiator than the stock or replacement 3 core I had. The shop owner should be happy to help you out and definitely knows what offers the better cooling solution and what fits your car.
The three core was a replacement from about 4 years ago and started leaking at the end tank... They are pretty cheap ($ and quality) so going with a better constructed all aluminum radiator is probably cheaper in the long run.
