| For you guys that did Mustang stuff swaps into Fairmonts....
Does a Fox Mustang (around 90-93 or so) drop directly into a Fairmont with no mods? I'm looking to go 3 row, and I want to know what I'll need to do. If I have to, I'll try to find a 3 row rad for a 'Mont, but I figure one for a Mustang will be easier to find (like, Autozone has 'em).
Later Mike. | |

| Sweet!
Autozone has 3 row (heavy-duty cooling option) Mustang rad for about 200 bux, and Fairmont 2 row rad for like 160. Seems like an extra row is worth the extra 40 bux, and since I REALLY don't wanna downgrade to a 2 row from the 3 row (broken) that I have, that might just be the ticket.
Thanks, Mike. | |

| 1978 Fairmonts have radiator side tanks (and mounting brackets) that are 3" wide, compared to later F/Z's and Fox Mustangs with side tanks that are 2.5" wide. | |
