Radiator

All --

Back to looking for a radiator for my 75. Mine has a terrible leak and while I really want to just work with it and get the beast running -- Bar's Leaks is looking really attractive right now -- that little birdie on my shoulder is telling me just to do it right and get it fixed. Can't afford much, but if you have one you know is good, please let me know.

Thanks much,

JP.

Anyone ever go through Radiator Experess?

http://www.radiatorexpress.com/product. ... id=1105579

They have a 1975 FORD BRONCO - 5.0 liter V8 RADIATOR 4-Row All Metal Heavy Duty Replacement.

A 4-row HE core custom built radiator for your Classic Early 1966-1977 Ford Bronco! This is a significant upgrade from the outdated design of your aging factory radiator. Why believe the hype and settle for an overpriced, nonrepairable, universal aluminum radiator that requires modifications after the purchase just to make it fit your Bronco. This is a direct bolt-in, high efficiency, 4-row radiator for your 66-77 Ford Bronco.

$299.

Worth it or not necessary if I can get the Spectra Premium 3-row radiator for $160 plus tax?

Thoughts?

Not. I've heard rumblings that the 4 cores don't improve cooling since the extra thickness can reduce air movement through the radiator. Unless you're cooling something exotic I'd stick with something closer to OEM.
