Anyone know of any issues with a 5gc (GT-GTS) radiator fitting into a 94 GT?

The dimensions are similar.. the 5gc rad is slightly shorter from tank to tank.. but an inch or so longer.. they are both 1" thick..

Top tank cracked by the water neck.

I just repaired it with a 5 minute plastic epoxy.. was able to drive it home the 6 miles. Infact that **** really sealed the crack up from what I can tell.. I could probably go drive the car around no problem..

I had doubts about an epoxy working.. just cuz I'm more of a mechanical like.. metal and solids person.. if u get my drift. I don't ever hold much trust in glues.. I like solid fasteners.. however I've seen some pretty amazing **** with glues now and apparently my doubts of their abilities aren't founded on any solid ground just personal preference. But even that preference is changed it's views now.

Cliffnotes: Cracked tanks on your radiator and car stuck somewhere? Epoxy that **** up.. I let it sit for 3hrs and fully cure.. (even tho it's a 5 minute epoxy smile.gif )
