SR71blackbird,
                    I take it "T" is for turbo. If you look up Jeg's and Summit Racing, they have a lot of choices if you leave the "T" off. If I were you, I would call them and ask them what they might have for you (if you haven't already tried that yet). Also, just because they call it an aluminum radiator, does not mean that part of it is not made of plastic.

Ole Aerocoupe made a nice post/thread about radiators....might go check his info out, even if he's a little unsure of my over-developed sense of humor, lol

I bought a direct fit mustang radiator from summit, dont remember the number on it, but I think it was a summit brand.  Took a little bending of tabs but fit right in!

Actually the 2.3 T is not that difficult to cool. Most any 2 core will do just fine.

Did you forget the link for the radiator?? If so please post it so i can check the unit out. Thank you
