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?

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
