Bone stock for 95 cj pony best price exact match for stock made in Canada all u need if stock
I semi-recently replaced my stock'er with the Aluminum Mishimoto. Fits great with a centri-blower, so you shouldn't have any problems stock. Cars runs nice and cool.
Just used some generic "96-04 ford 4.6" one from local parts store since it was cheap as hell. Its worked fine even in 90+ weather with the AC on.
thanks for the suggestions guys. much appreciated.
would you have any pictures of your setup?
has anyone had luck with SVE radiators?

Don't have any in my phone currently. I'll snap a few tonight when I get home
excellent.
Here's a side by side
And in the car. Kinda hard to see anything but you can tell it fits

very nice. and you have a hair dryer in there too. damn. did you have to bend any brackets to clear the radiator? or did it drop right in? i noticed that you're still using the old radiator top brackets. any issues since then, or is the included stabilizer doing a great job on itself?
i just pulled the trigger on the mishimoto radiator. can't wait to install it.

Thanks. Dropped right in, no rattling or issues at all so far. Awesome, I think you will be definitely be happy with your decision.
*Worth noting, no a/c lines or condenser to mess with. That's all pulled out.

Visteon used to manufacture the same radiator that came in the 2003-2004 cobra.

I am running one in my vehicle and it was a direct fit.

yeah, i'm pretty impressed with the kit. but i'm having an issue with the right hand side of the car's ac lines and the upper radiator support bolt. i think i'm going to have to bend something to clear those lines. i'm reading comments on people's experiences with this install.

thanks for that. i saw it too when i was looking for an oe replacement. buying another plastic radiator will cause problems done road again. i just took the dive on an aluminum radiator instead.
I use one, it leaked out of the box but they just replaced it for me.
Cools really well, definetly happy with it.
thanks for the tip. the sve was second on my list, if the mishimoto wasn't winning over the mustang crowd.
my current problem right now... 
seems that they could easily fix this problem with the ac users by just relocating the mounting location to an upper or lower position on the radiator and the stabilizer bar. clearing the ac lines for the bolt head easily. then it could literally be a drop in radiator.
