Title: Radiator Question
Post by: Hutch on December 28, 2010, 07:03:42 AM
Does anybody know if Radiators from 1987 and up Mustangs would fit in an '83 Thunderbird with minimal modification? I could possibly have a deal on one, but don't really want to buy it if it won't fit easily enough.

If its the same engine it should ....  5.0=5.0. 2.3=2.3

I used a 3 core replacement for an 88LX in my 84 Cougar and the only thing I remember having to change was the rubber insert in the brackets used to hold the rad....I think I had to bend a bracket and trim the rubber due to the different tank thickness.  :shakehead
