NEED NEW RADIATOR

[96 blue moon]

What aftermarket radiators is everybody running that has a direct fit for 96 mustang gt 4.6L SOHC and who has the best deal? lMine started to leak after 12 years. I have a P1sc with a 3-core intercooler. Thanks

go to americanmuscle.com and order the Mishimoto all aluminum radiator. I have had mine for almost a year and it has been great. Do a search on corral for mishimoto and you will see a ton of happy folks. Also do a search on here for a post I made that has pics of the radiator.

Did you call them?

Here is one for the 97 auto http://www.americanmuscle.com/mishimoto-automatic-mustang-radiator-9704.html

If your a 96 you are going to have to do some fab work anyways because there was a recall for the 96 radiator. They changed them in 97 and the way they mount is different. not hard to do at all.

Thanks guys. I will check them out at americanmuscle. my car is a 5 speed so I hope they have them for my car. Are you guys telling me that I have to modify this new radiator to fit in my 96?

They should have the manual 96 radiator. if you get the 97 radiator you do have to do some modifications but it is easy to do.

Yeah, I will make sure I order the one that fits my car. Do you know how wide these radiators are?

 

[jfor441]

same width as stock. be prepared for it to do an awesome cooling job!

This radiator looks sick. From the looks of it, it's fully polished and has the Mishimoto raised plaque on it. Did you notice a temp drop over stock? Or is the temperature more stable at a set thermo's temp?

 

[96 blue moon]

I will definitely check them out. Yeah, Anything different from the stock radiator on the 96 has to cool better. Thanks Again

Thank you guys for all your help. I just ordered one from americanmuscle at a good price as well.

Yea, saw some posts on Corral about them. Seems like a great radiator. The goods outweigh the bad based on reviews. I'm gonna pick one up as well. I've got a 96 also.

Well it sounds like you guys really like this radiator. I can't wait for mine to arrive so I can install it in my car.

I think ill be getting one of those in the future. Mine just started leaking out the side today. For a temporary fix, what should i use to help slow the leak?

 

[jfor441]

if it's leaking out the side you might can try some stopleak from the auto parts store. may or may not work.

 

[96 blue moon]

I would not install anything in the radiator to try to slow the leak. It sounds like your gasket on the side tank is leaking. That is where mine started to leak.

all aluminum 2-core FTW.... I personally have fluidyne.. but the mishi doesn't look too bad.. go for it...

 

[97GT4.6]

Alright thanks. I'm going to take it to my school tommorrow and ill throw it up on the rack, and maybe ill be able to see where it is leaking from on the bottom. It seems to becoming out on the pass. side about halfway down on the radiator.
