That's very similar, I don't know the exact part number though as I traded the mustang radiator for this one from my neighbor. It was bnib though so I'll see if he has any more info.

This possibly?

Appreciate it guys.

I am interested on how your water and oil temps are at idle after a 15min drive.

Edit: Its actually around 60-65 psi idle warm. Verified on the drive in today. 80 on start up.

New radiator in:


Water pump is scary close, but I have given a few very hard romps, and no touching.


Wrapped the entire exhaust (minus shorties) to keep under hood temps down.


front shot, need another screw in my plate.


Between the radiator and exhaust wrap, I have seen a very significant improvement between driving temps, and just how it feels when I open the hood.

After idling for about 10 minutes (already warm), I am getting around 205* on my hand held thermal temp gauge at the thermostat.

Just finished removing the front bolt from the fuel tank, and bashing in some areas of interest.

120mph, no vibration! Track time.

Also got a chance to install the Massive booster delete kit. Gotta give credit when due, that guy makes one hell of a kit. Going from stock ratio manual brakes to 6.2:1 is amazing, I over did it a few times on the ride home getting used to it.

Interesting exhaust!!!

Had some fun with a solstice gxp today, ended up holding him off with his front bumper to my rear bumper. All the while slamming into the rev limiter in 3rd and taking a second or two before getting back on the throttle in fourth. Time to get the tach working. I'm impressed with what this motor has, I guess Ford isn't all that bad....

Ya i was having a hard time getting traction into 4th if i wasnt gentle on the throttle.. Its a 4.10 but still...

Any chance you could be a saint and post or send me a link to said radiator?

This is a great radiator for the swap. Inlet/oulet positioning is ideal and it fits between the frame rails with about 1.5" to spare on each side.

You used the massive brake kit right? How is that compared to stock?

[burlmays9]

I wish I could find a booster delete...

[IronFreak]

Massive brakes.....

I love it, had a good friend drive the car the other day, he commented on how stiff it was but had no problem stopping.

Compared to stock, you will notice it, but I don't even think my 120lb wife would have a problem driving it.

To the other guy, check out the massive Lee website and email him. I ordered mine straight from the source, communication and delivery were great.

Too bad it isn't listed on their website...

Thanks! I was pretty disappointed that they didn't have it on the site.

[IronFreak]

Yeah, it is on there.
