 Radiator options5.0 explorer swap. I know some have used the original bronco radiator but, what are some of your experiences with other radiators? including an explorer rad?

Re: Radiator options The best radiator I ever had in a Bronco. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sgt- ... del/ranger
Also the cheapest. Now I have one in both. |

Re: Radiator options I have the part number tags on my tool box and will post them up shortly
I believe this radiator is the cat's meow. I don't have a shroud on mine and it has gotten up to 199 but tomorrow will be first warm day so I will give it another test. _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: Radiator options The mounting tabs I used were found on the ground at the pull n pay place so I don't have part number / application information.
Most late model ford cars and trucks use various styles of this mount. It has a hole and a rubber grommet in it and a tab on the bottom of the radiator drops down through the hole. _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: Radiator options well I guess I'll be making a pull and pay run. I'll get multiples off a ranger or something to cover you too Justin.

Re: Radiator options Thanks fellas, I got it all dialed in now (I think)
Phil, one other item I am looking for is the mounting bracket for the PS reservoir like yours. I have the reservoir but, not the bracket. I can make one but, I'm all about easy! _________________ That guy John.... whatta Jerk. |

Re: Radiator options It's the stock bracket for that reservoir. L-shaped with slots for the rubber grommets.

Re: Radiator options I think mine was off a mid 90s diesel excursion. Cost me about $45 with the bracket off fleabay, but took a little searching to find one.
