No shortage of hem-haw about radiators and their cost. However, on the Mustang forums there are many, many FE cars that the ACP MAX-Cool has changed the game for. Most of us want to keep the engine looking somewhat as it came. The ACP radiators are in the 330.00 range. They work well, fit well and mimic factory fit, form and design.
I have one I haven't installed yet. I am running an original ford 24" unit that I had re-cored as a three core. There is 3/8" between the fan clutch and the core.
It's very tight. The downside is the re-core was 422.00.
I just added factory A/C. I won't know how well it does until the late spring. The inboard headlights are also an issue.
I'll know where I am late this spring and if I am going to have to change over to the 2 core Max unit.
