SVT radiators obsolete

Maybe it's not the radiator, but your black paint job, Mr. Phoenix %) heh.

Holy old thread! :shocked:

I'm not sure that all CSVT's got the unique radiator anyway.

My stock, never changed svt radiator in my 2k SVT is not a thick one. Rara is correct that not all SVTs got the fat radiator..... I would say probably all '98s got them and most '99s. They got skimpy-er on all the parts as the years went on.

I would say it is a factory stock svt radiator because it doesn't have the ports/bungs for the trans cooler.

How do you know it is stock/ never changed?

I carefully looked over where the bolts hold the brackets for the radiator and condensor. They don't have a mark on them and there is no "sillouette" markings from the bolt heads if someone had moved the brackets at all from re-installing. I could say I am 95% sure that this one has never been out of the car.

all manual trans cars got a radiator that didnt have ports for the trans cooler.

yes and just about any aftermarket replacement is going to have the atx cooler fittings. i know the one I got for my zetec does and it was also setup for the V6.
