Where can I find a good 3 core radiator?

Joestang94 · 12-28-2001, 11:10 AM

I have a 1994 Mustang GT. I want to replace my stock radiator with something better. Anyone know of a site or store where I can get a 3 core? I live in Kingston PA. Thanks.

I dont know if you have PepBoys there but they have them too and they are very cheap too. I have a Friend that has one from them and he Likes it.

Advance carries a good one.. when my FMS one sprung a leak I found it was cheaper to buy that one then have mine fixed.. works the SAME car WILL NOT HEAT!!

Why do you want to replace your radiator? Is your car overheating? Is your radiator busted? Do you want to just spend some money?

If you do want something "better" than just get a 3-core Fluidyne aluminum radiator from Summit or Holcomb Motorsports, but it'll cost you-- around $350 - $400. Otherwise (unless your car really needs it), getting another brass radiator isn't worth the money (IMO).
