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..

Usually when talking about different radiators, people want to go bigger. I went with the automatic transmission radiator for that reason. Same bolt up, but a little larger. I wouldn't go smaller unless it was free. Even then, I don't think I would. Not many are going to be able to tell you what it's like bolting a smaller radiator in place. You'll probably just have to try this one out and see how it goes.

an st185 rad would be beneficial, because it is meant for a turbo car therefore has better cooling abilities. but the gt-gts rad would be downgrading. It has a thinner core and is meant to cool an econo motor. why would you want to do this? is your rad leaking?

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 )
