WTB radiator that doesn't projectile vomit its fins all over the engine

Yeah mines all corroded, some of the fins are the classic green some are RED, I wish I knew why but they flake off and it's like somebody sprinkled crushed red pepper all over my accessory bracketry and just about everything else in the bay! :mad:
 
So does anyone have a stock automatic tranny radiator thats solid. Not looking for an aftermarket aluminum one that's all high-performance or whatever, just the stock one. Cools just fine and doesn't leak but it looks like ass and makes everything ELSE look like ass :hick:

2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...

I do have one that is in my 84 cougar if that may work for you. Worked fine when i drove the car til the rod knock got too bad.
    Let me know if it will work for you.

Hvae you tried an auto parts store? You can get a factory replacement radiator for ~$100.

I actually had no idea what they ran for new, thanks. I'd like to try and find one used first and if that doesn't work out I'll probably go that route.

Don't buy a used radiator.I got my factory replacement with a lifetime warranty for $90.00 from Autozone.Cheap insurance.It's been in the car for a few months and cools great.I even have the TC nose on the car,no grille,and the car stays cool.
