Depending on the vehicle, a replacement stock radiator may be aluminum construction, even if OE equipment was not. When I needed a new radiator for my Ford 5.0 FOX body car, the rad the local parts store carried was a light, aluminum with plastic tanks version, even though the original was all brass construction. I simply asked for a stock replacement rad for a 5.0 Mustang, and thats what they gave me. It fit perfectly in the original brackets, it cools just fine, and has a wide, single core.Plus the price was very good. It has been in the car(s) for well over 10 years, and has worked very well, even with good wheelstands thrown into the mix.

Champion radiator is hard to beat. Direct fit, and cost effective.

Special thanks to Alex & Tony Denysenko & many of us got on the list to lobby N.H.R.A. to allow Ford`s replacement/superseded for Fox body Mustangs. I do still have a 3-core brass one on the shelf like new. ![]() |

All of our performance oriented street cars that are around 10 years or older get swapped to an all aluminum radiator (doing 2 now). They tend to start leaking where they clamp together, personally I wouldn't chance that on a race car. Too easy to crash if they blow out and cost too much to travel to races and risk a leak that could put you out. Just my .02
