Radiator

It's time for a new radiator ...I have a front mount Spearco Intercooler with aftermarket electric fan setup and am using the original, stock radiator.....I want to stay with the stock radiator size etc.....what have some of you used for a replacement and where did you get it, how much etc.etc...thanks ....

88TC, 5 speed, 2.5" ATR exhaust, K&N, Cold Air Intake, Ported Upper, Ported Lower, Ported E6, calibrated injectors, coolant filter,Spearco Front Mount Intercooler.
Modified leather interior from a 2001 Monte Carlo, lowered 1" using H and R sport springs.

I went to a local radiator shop after pricing them on the Autozone web site. I told the local shop I wanted a three row core instead of a two row, and told them if they could beat the Zone's price on a three row, I would buy it from them. They did by 10% and had it the same day. I went with a three row because this is Texas, and I get paranoid about the car staying cool in traffic on hot summer days.

It was the same size except for core thickness, and thus was a drop-in replacement. The increase in core thickness didn't really affect the mounting of the fan, but since I have a 1986 TC, the fan mount spacing may different from the newer cars. No cooling problems, and we had a lot of 100+ degree days this summer.

I dropped the Ford Motorsport dual 1 inch row aluminum radiator in mine fits perfect if you still have stock size battery if not it will rub a little.I have a 1000 amp Die Hard Gold series battery and it was rubbing so I did the only natural thing a true car nut would do.....put the battery in the trunk!! There!No more rubbing,but besides that it dropped right in and works great!Shoot me an E/M for details if you like.Later!
