Radiator for 04 vert?
- Thread starter Xlw23

I went with the SVE radiator from Late model. It is a tight fit, but with slight bending of the ac lines I got it in there. Be careful with the plastic drain plug. Over tighten it and it will leak.
The OEM one is discontinued, so you only have a few options. Used, fluidyne, SVE, or custom made.

Thanks. So pretty much only mod is bending ac line. If so I think I'll go with this

Yes this one..

Not sure what part of the country you're in. But did you see a difference in engine temps?
Also using a 170 stat and modified fan settings I assume?
OEM fan?
San Antonio tx..
Yes temp's have dropped..I was at the point where car wasn't use able when warm weather came..
I've been watching temp now that it's over 100deg..
I'm still under 190 with ac on driving

how are engine temps now in the summer
what other supporting cooling system changes/mods? have u done
I have that radiator but the company that makes them for LMR and AM sells them unbranded for a lot cheaper. With it being 110 today with it feeling muggy here in SoCal I saw 199 driving to work and when I stopped at work I wanted to watch how it worked better than my stock and it was sitting at 216 (with my cowl hood closed) and as soon as I popped the hood it dropped down to 202 with my A/C on and would come down with it off.
I will try to find the radiator company name again but I also have a modified mark 8 fan blade (works with the cobras normal fan motor) 180 riesche tstat (came in the car and flows way more coolant than the replacement I thought I needed) and the stock fan settings since I have to send my X4 back to SCT because something is internally wrong with it.
Little update here's the radiator I got. I paid more because I needed it "right now" but if you can wait the price is better than any radiator you can get. It's the same as a SVE I looked at recently that's how I know they are the same radiator.

Time to retire my 14 year old rad.
the SVE one is sold out until August. FYI
FYI j2 engineering used to make a massive 3 core and 3 row radiator for the mustang but they are out of stock through speed daddy. And it was a fully mirror polished rad. The issue there was it was 2 1/4 inches in thickness. The one I got and the SVE/LMR ones are only 2 inches thick. I don't think there would have been anyway to get it into our cars.
