I HAD AN 85 MUSTANG COUPE WITH AN ALMOST STOCK 302 OUT OF A 72 TORINO. IT WOULD NEVER GET HOT AROUND TOWN BUT AT 65-70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT OVER HEAT QUICKLY!THE CAR HAD 3.45 GEARS AND A C4 WITH NO THERMOSTAT! WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COOL YOU COULD START IT TAKE OFF THE RADIATOR CAP AND SEE THE FLUID FLOWING VERY WELL.I ADDED AN ELECTRIC FAN TO HELP THE STOCK 72 STEEL FAN AND DID NOT HELP AT ALL.SO I FINALY SWAPED IN A RADIATOR OUT OF ANOTHER MUSTANG (WICH WAS A 2 ROW THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL)AND IT NEVER OVER HEATED AGAIN! I HAD THE OLD ON CHECKED BY A RADIATOR SHOP AND THE MAN SAID ONLY THE TOP ROWS WERE FLOWING (THE ONES I COULD SEE)THE REST WERE ALL CLOGGED! SO IF NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO YOUR RADIATOR HAVE IT CHECKED !!! OH YEA AND GET RID OF THAT LITTLE EXHAUST !!!
