I need a new radiator for my 1992 mustang. I am looking at the ford racing aluminum radiator or should I just get the stock replacement? I was also thinking about getting flex a lite black magic fan. Is it any good? What radiator fan combo would be best?

whichever one you get make sure its fully aluminum and doesnt have the plastic ends they crack under pressure over time

ford racing does have plastic ends. go to AM and get yourself a mishimoto. there good quality and if they do leak you can return it and they give you a fresh one. or you can weld the cracked part back in
