Need a new radiator

I have an 87 Bronco with the 5.0 EFI. I'm looking for new radiator. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what type I should get and where I should get. I want to go for high performance and ultra reliability.

Sorry i don't have an 87 i have a 78, so the only thing i can recommend is take a look at RockAuto.com or JBG and see what they have. RA has about 4-5 different radiators some heavy duty and some not.

I'd check out Summit Racing or Rock Auto or Advance...any of them should be able to point you in the right direction as far as a performance replacement. I bought mine at Advance last month because my brother works there and got me a great discount. I just went with a stock heavy duty replacement.

You could get a part # from Advance or Rock Auto, then search for it on Amazon.

Ah this is true. I was looking for clips (speednuts) for my top on my bronco and found out there isn't any in my state so i may have to order them online.

Dang, here I was trying to help by listing a local store and there isn't one in your state....are you close to the state line, maybe the next state has one...jk

As for a radiator I have always went to Advance and got the HD model. I will run external coolers on everything else.
