Question Junkyard radiators upgrades for the FC?

Are there any radiators from other vehicle that would be an upgrade for the FC?? I want to see if there are any options before going the Fluidyne route.

I wouldn't consider a junkyard radiator an upgrade. Its already questionable since you don't know the history of the piece. Personally I'm saving for the fluidyne when my factory one gives out. Its made to fit and the inlet/outlet necks are aligned properly for the factory hoses.

Most people think if it costs a lot of money and it's shiny, it's better. Don't believe the hype.

As far as junk yard radiators are concerned, you should just go out to the yard with your tape measure and find what will fit in the front of your car. Just make sure the car it comes out of is about 3 liters or greater. If it was on a 5 liter motor then it will work on yours. Use your common sense.
