New radiator

Hello, I'm just checking if anyone has ordered from Southwest Speed http://www.southwestspeed.com/?sec=home recently? I'm looking to purchase a radiator soon. Thanks

Re: New radiator

i have dealt with them, quite helpful people and i have ever intention of using them in the future. I have not purchased a radiator form them, just a power steering setup and some other small parts.

Re: New radiator

Well I called and ordered one yesterday afternoon and he said it will be at my house on tuesday. I thought that was pretty reasonable.

Re: New radiator

I got the new radiator in today. Looks to be very good quality and for the price can't seem to beat it. I havn't fit it yet but waiting on the weather to warm up some.

Re: New radiator

If you are trying to install that in a 3rd gen you will have height & width problems. I sell very similar radiator for $138.00 plus freight. They are designed for an IMCA stock car. If you cannot get it in, I have a "direct fit" 2 row all aluminum new in box w/warranty for $255.00 w/ a/t cooler, heater connection & LCI sensor port. They are thicker than stock so some minor mods are required but the height & width are correct as well as the hose connection sizes & locations.
