I have a 95 and think I am in need of a new radiator. Has anyone used the Fluidyne or something else that they like?? Does anyone know if the Fluidyne 2 row is alot better than stock and have any numbers on it as in how much more it holds and average temp below that it can produce. Also, who makes a good replacement high output water pump for a 95 gt. Is the Fluidyne a direct replacement or does some modifying need to be done??

The Fluidyne radiator is a nice piece, I think that Griffin and Be Cool also make applications for late mustangs. A stock cooling system in good working order should be able to keep the engine in the proper operating temp. in all weather conditions, unless the motor is putting out alot more power than stock.

The stock stuff should be sufficiant unless you have some mods. Of course it won't hurt anything, other than your wallet, to go aftermarket. What is the reason you are replaeing the radiator...because if you are having problems with heating up, it may not be the radiatior at all. I'm just trying to get an idea of what you're going for here...that's all.

The Fluidyne has 1/2 inch lines & holds almost twice as much water as the stock unit.
You will never need a better radiator. It'll hold my turbo mustang at 180.
Beautiful pieces too.....

lol, this guy is making a lot more power than stock!
i just bought a fluidyne for my 94, the core part is over twice as thick as the stock. i heard people with blowers have some problems. absoluteradiator.com has the best price. its 370 or something shipped to your door. it would be even cheaper if you dont have CA tax.

I have just built a completely new motor that is a supercharged 306. Byron has tuned it and it put out 466 hp to the wheels. All cooling devices are in working order with a custom chip to. I think it is just to much motor for the stock stuff. Now with that info what you got to say? Also, the crank pulley with the blower serp on it is close to the stock radiator now. Is this going to be a problem? Thanks

Hmm..... You may have to do some fabbing to get the radiator pushed forward some. What real choice do you have though?
