    Description

    Usually ships in 3-5 business days.

    New aluminum MAX CORE radiator design which maximizes the count of larger sized tubes for increased flow, generating higher cooling efficiency while offering maximum heat transferring capabilities. These are stronger than the average radiator. These radiators are more durable than the others on the market and come with a limited one year warranty.

    Please be aware that if you are upgrading from the 20" radiator to the 24" radiator, you will need to order more than just the radiator to make the swap.  Please watch our video below for a walk through of what you will need.

    For some helpful tips on upgrading your Cougar (or Mustang) cooling system, check out our video:

    Pros:
    • Much bigger than stock!
    Cons:
    • Overflow exits to the passenger side.
    The Aluminum radiator looks great! Fits in the stock rubber holders as it should. The problem I have with it is the overflow exits to the passenger side. In my opinion, it should exit to the driver side as that’s where the majority of Cougar owners (cars in general) put their overflow tank.

    Does not fit all XR7 vehicles. BEWARE!

    Cons:

    The radiator is an excellent product itself. Well built and i'm sure would last many years. However after purchasing this radiator on suggestion of the staff of WCCC for my 68 XR7 with AC/302, it was way to big. The core radiator support is too small to support anything larger than a 20 inch radiator. Buyer beware, don't rely on this product description.

    WCCC Response:

    If you follow our video you should have no problems (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pc6t2Gfvyc). Check out the feedback on the video and our cooling kit, we have sold hundreds. 

    If you send us a picture we can tell you what you are missing. Keep in mind the core support is the same for both small and large radiators, the differnece being that the small radiators (20") bolt to the core, big radiators (24") require brackets.

    Cons:
    Nice unit, fitment was good bolted right in, repro fan shroud went on without issue. Spacing to fan was dead on. it even does a good job of mimicking the factory shape. I'm now ready to cruise without worry in the hot North Texas Summers.
