When i used to run my A/C my car would try to overheat. This is with an all new cooling system. So now her is my question i am getting ready to hook the A/C back up. Which radiator and single electric fan do u recommend to keep it cool. Now i am on a budget so what can i get for a great price? I really appreciate any help. The car is an 87 formula 350 5peed bolt ons and a mild cam. It has the single electric fan. The fan is also hardwired to stay on with the key. Thier is a guy trying to sale a universal 31X19 griffin radiator would that be good. I dont care about having to fab stuff. But would this work better than my oem replacment aluminum radiator its from oreilly's. My car has less then 10,000 miles on the radiator,water pump,hoses,thermostat and engine.

 

Also the car will be in the 500 horse range shortly. So i need something that is going to hold up. This car is not daily driven but there is a lot of traffic around the Dallas-Ft Worth area and i go to car shows and cruise and have to sit in traffic in the middle of the day. Also should i upgrade to a aftermarket water pump it just has a cheap 20 dollar one on right now. Also just found a universal 31X19 Be Cool radiator would this work?

 

Windstar fans are supposed to be EXCELLENT.

Should be able to find the dimensions of it online, and you would need to compare that with the stock radiator dimensions. The Griffin numbers you quote sound about right for the Windstar fans.

*Personal Opinion*

Don't run the fans all the time. They aren't designed for it, you put more of a load on your charging system, and it costs you power. It's so simple to wire tfans up with a temp switch (or two) and relay(s) that I can think of no reason you wouldn't.

 

Not to worried about wear and tear the car gets drivin a max of 4,000 miles a year.
