    Why would you want a better rad? i always found the stock cooling system worked well

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      The Festiva automatic radiator from 89 thru 93 is thicker for better cooling.

        I put a new one in last year, bought it on ebay from a seller called Radiator_Doctor. It's for an Automatic, which is dual core, and came with all hardware, etc. Plus, it is all metal - no plastic tanks, and has lifetime warrantee. Only paid $110 aprox. I thought it was good deal. The local McParts wanted $350 or some other outrageous amount.
        If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

            I had taken Measurements from a Older Jeep Cherokee and it would filt long ways accross the front between the headlight plugs - custom mounts and hoses would be your problem - but the advantage would be more surface area and dual core
