Re: Which Radiator

I used the heavy duty 3 core replacement from Autozone/advance (can't recall which one) seems like it was in the 130-140 range....

Re: Which Radiator

Advanced nor Autozone make a 3 core for the 94 to 95 stangs. I ended up going with a Fliudyne and I love it. Down here it gets pretty hot and driving down the highway, the car never gets above 180°. I paid right at 400 for mine with shipping from Mustangs Unlimited. Plus the fit was perfect and no fabbing needed.

That's what I want!!!



I can get a Ron Davis tig welded for something just over $400. Thinking about just doing that instead of paying shipping too. Found a Fluiidyne for $$359.79 including shipping here: http://www.optionimports.com/fhp20-95mu.html

Just waiting on my parts connection (read O'Reilly Auto Parts Managers) to get back to me with their prices before I decide now.

Re: Which Radiator

There was a place that I found on the corral 94/95 forum that had the Fluiddyne for like $335 shipped.

I'll try to find the link, but you should be able to find it doing a search in the forum.

here it is
http://www.absoluteradiator.com/

looks like the price went up, it is $360 shipped

with that my car still runs around 190-200..... That doesn't really make sense, i have a new thermostat etc, you don't have a chip or anything? It seems like it would have to run a little warmer than the thermostat you have. I wonder if it is something with my car, i has a new water pump etc..
