Radiator Question

[mag]

Does anyone know of a radiator upgrade for a mark I can find plenty for cobra's but I'm not sure if they interchange. I think upgrading the coolant system would be a good move.170 t stat ,water pump and radiator.

I could be wrong, but I believe the cobra radiator is a step above the mark' s. I think it's a little thicker so some spacing adjustments might be needed. No matter what radiator you get I would recommend keeping the stock fan for the mark, they move some air.

I think there's a few out there that have put a griffin in.

Someone else with a little more knowledge will come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

I have the '03-'04 Cobra radiator in the Blue Flame. You have to modify the upper mounts but it works very well.

Time for a trans cooler one mod always leads to another.

I believe this is what I have in my car.

I think that is a bit expensive I believe I can have a radiator custom built to spec for that cost. .If I can have a 3 core built would it eliminate the need for a trans cooler?

no. you will always need a trans cooler somewhere.

I think itd be better to get a bigger tranny cooler than a radiator. Do you expect any cooling issues?

Thinking ahead to what my plans are yes .I probably wont finish the complete build for a few years so adding what I can when I can is progress in achieving my goal .

I'm not sure what your final goal is with the car, but I would just do the 03/04 cobra radiator like Driller and others have. It's a lot cheaper and is capable of handling a decent amount of power.

Here's a link where people sorta discuss a couple brands and the trade offs between thinner and thicker radiators. I'm not sure which theory is right but it might help you decide which route to take.

I agree after doing some research the cobra radiator and fan control may be my best options.

I know a couple '03-'04 Cobra guys putting out over 600HP with their stock radiator and no cooling issues.
