Radiator Question?

[LaserRedSnake]

Just recently found out that my stock radiator has a slight crack/hole in the bottom that will obviously only get worse from this point on and i'm in the market for a new one.

So my question is, I know the 96 Cobra's had the TSB out on them for the cooling swap to the 97/98 setup. So is there any way to tell if the car has had the swap done, because I'm kind of at a loss as to what radiator to purchase because I don't want to buy a 97-up one if the fan setup/and or bolt locations and things are different on it :shrug: . So it would be great if someone has some kind of info on this to help me out! :read:

Thanks in advance!

i think the 96 had the rad cap on them before they were converted. the updated stuff shouldnt have a cap, just the de-gas bottle.

If the upgrade has been done the radiator should have part# F7ZH-8005-BC
A/C Condenser F7ZH-19710-BC

Thermostat and hose assembly F7Z8A586-AB….These are just a few of the
Parts.

Depending on the location of the leak I'd try to plug it with something like JB Weld.
Otherwise, I have a used (40K miles) stock radiator I removed from SNAKEYE in favor of a two-core. If you can determine that it will fit your car it's yours for $50 plus UPS.
PM me if interested.
