I am going to run an Explorer radiator and I was wondering why everyone goes with the 94' 4.0 version. I was looking on Rock Auto and found that 99' 4.0 has an outlet that comes strait out instead of the 45*ish angle on the bottom outlet. Is there a reason that that angle is needed?
1. 94' 4.0 Auto with A/C

2. 99' 4.0 for manuel trans, but has cooler line in and out provisions.

If I am reading it correctly the 99' is larger.
I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but not having to cut a bunch of hose also sounds nice.

Re: Explorer Radiator?
The '94 fits between the frame rails. The later one doesn't.
