My 1990 5.0 stock radiator/ water pump/ all of the above is shitting brown rust water everywhere. Barely made it home tonight and when I got home radiator was steaming and 90% empty, Oil looks fine.

Anyone ever use SVE brand radiator? if not what are some recommendations?

does your car have air deflector? If not order one it points cold air onto the radiator.

I personally would buy any oem style parts from a local retailer so that and warranty issues can be taken care of easily. I use a basic plastic tank o.e. replacment radiator and it keeps my HCI fox cool. I have seen and heard of alot of the solid aluminum radiators cracking.

You mean like autozone? I was thinking of going this route too. Just not sure how to pick out all the hoses.

Yes, my preference would be Monument car parts, but whoever you trust to have the best price and warranty.

Not a good idea, run a 180 or whatever stock is
