I am hoping to get Mustang back on the road first part of this week. Transmission guy came over today and fixed the couple of minor issues there so now we can move forward with firing her up to do the break in, timing, tunning, etc.
Have been debating where to go next with the car but I know there are several things that need attention...leaf springs and a couple of other things like I am considering adding subframe connectors come to mind off the top of my head.
One issue we had during the engine removal / install of the new one is the radiator. From what I can tell mine is the original deal. The little deal that the overflow tube attaches too came completely off so we had to take it over to the radiator shop and have it put back on. I am thinking maybe the radiator should be my next priority when I save up a few bucks.
What are my options for radiators?
I was looking at the NPD catalog the other day and they seemed to have either stock style or ones that cost the better part of $1k.
Not sure if it will run hot or whatever with the new motor...guess I'll find out after a couple of test drives.
I know I could buy an original style radiator for a couple of hundred and it appears that some of the nicer raditors are generally speaking much more expensive.
Is there any in between option that won't break the bank but maybe be a bit of an improvement over the stock style?
I found this one at the link below but wonder how it would work?
