Absolute Best Radiator For 2000 GT/ Cobra?

MacDizzle · February 21st, 2011, 11:35 AM

I am trying to buy a new Radiator but want some feedback from people who know. What is the ultimate best Radiator for a 2000 GT With a bunch of mods that likes to run really hot? Im thinking of keeping it Ford Racing and cant find any parts from them online. Do I need to go to the Ford dealer and let them mark me up 40 points or what?

You can shop online and do not have to go to a dealer for a radiator/ Have you checked out your other options as far as cooling goes? How is your cooling system in general? Thermostat, waterpump, hoses.. ect.

ya i need new hoses because they stretched when it overheated. I plan on buying new hoses, Radiator and a new water pump and a new fan or fans. Any ideas on the best ones? I already upgraded to a new lower temperature Cobra thermostat. I have shit kicked my stang the past 4 years and now she needs alot of work.

I honestly do not see those mods maxing out a stock radiators cooling capabilities.

What then would be the cause of overheating and hose exspansion? Is Mishimoto an American company? These sights really push the Mishimoto stuff and I dont want Jap crap in my stang.

I would go get your coolant system check out.. maybe a pressure test. I cannot really tell you what is wrong with it without looking at it myself. As far as Mishimoto goes; I am not sure where they are made, ( I assume you could find this out by going to their site) but I ran one of their 2 core aluminum radiators in my Head/cam/intake/supercharged 91 fox and had zero overheating issues. It was a good solid aluminum radiator.
Here are some actual pictures of my old fox so you can see the quality.

I was in the middle of installing it at the time so forgive me for everything being torn apart on the motor. lol
