Radiator upgrade for engine switch?

[QUOTE=mattgoveiagt]What's the name of your shop? Do they have a website? I'm willing to bet the radiators you're talking about are the aluminum cross flow variety found in 5.0s.

The place that I like to do my shopping is Mac's Auto Parts online. Here is a link to the radiator that I'm looking at. I had assummed that I had to go to a Mustang parts place in order to find one that fits my car, rather than going to Pep Boys or something like that. Many thanks again in advance.

Hmmm...it sure does say "289 V8 standard cooling". I wouldn't trust it, though. I don't care what the thing says about "improved technology". I think you'd be fine with a 3-row radiator and run the trans lines through that as well. No real need for a separate cooler. Oh, and find an original style radiator if you can.
