i still need to find a better radiator though. the festiva one is holding up allright but i dont think ill trust it once temps start getting above freezing lol. 79 preludes are a bit rare around here so ill have to have a custom one made

Don't worry about the radiator. I used the stock festiva radiator on my BP all year. I put 3000+ miles on it and drove it hard all summer. Never even got above half way. I even drove it to the festiva festival in the heat 200 miles each way. I've been in rush hour traffic jams idling and didn't heat up.

I was running the stock 5 speed Festiva radiator with my B6T for two years straight, and it never overheated, even at the drag strip.

Well folks, I think the general consensus is that stock MTX Festiva radiators will do the job for any resonable size and purpose 4 cylinder swap.

One thing to consider is weight. Apparently the stock radiators are made of plastic and aluminum, while aftermarket ones are made of a heavier metal (brass?).

Anyone know where to get NOS Festiva or Aspire radiators?

And if you're worried about it use the ATX dual core..
