Hello all, I am looking to upgrade my radiator, and was curious what I should look for... Obviously I'd love to grab up a fluidyne or Be-cool... but there is NO WAY im dishing out $500+ for a radiator. (This radiator will be going in my 94 cobra) What's out there that can be had in aluminium/meet my cooling needs and not break the bank?:confused: Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the comments guys, I ended up going with a Fluidyne (without trans cooler). It fit in perfect/ looks great, and definitly took care of my cooling issue. :-D

:-DI will post up some tonight of it "in car" Unfortunatly I had just gotten back from vacation 28 hours in a car in 3 days (weeeee)...... and was dog tired when I installed it. I should have taken pics of the install, and kicking myself for not doing so. :sad: it was a night and day difference quality/appearance.

I just replaced my 5.0L's stock rad and was really impressed.

Oh well! PICS PICS PICS. let's see your shiny new rad.

My friends and I have used a lot of the Northern Radiators (same as the summit brand). They work great and I have had a quality issues with them. And they are fully welded not epoxied. They even offer a dual pass radiator for $269 now. Both the inlet and outlet are on the drivers side. That was a big help with my Vortech pulley and hose clearance issue.

I used a Griffen years ago and had electrolysis issues. A few friends had the same issue.
