i probably should know this but wanna double check.

i know its basically the same motor as a mustang, but i need to know which mustang radiator will fit it? is it from a fox 5.0? or sn95 5.0?

im guessing sn95 5.0

I have a junkyard T-bird rad in my 5.0, it fits but I had to relocate the overflow bottle.

well the motor on the t bird looks damn similar to a sn95 5.0 so im thinking its would use a radiator from a sn95......but i just wanna make sure. its for my brothers car cuz the radiator blew and since im on here and ppl got parts for days, i figured i can find him one here

You would need a 94-95 radiator for it to match up correctly. Just make sure you mount it low enough to clear the radiator cap, as it is about 1 1/2" taller than the T-bird version.

the t bird is an auto, does it matter weather or not the radiator from the mustang comes out of a stick or auto?

It would need to be from a auto as well. You'll need it for the fluid tank (cooling for the trans). There are two lines that bolt up to the radiator.
