Hello all. I own a 93 e350 with a 351w. Just recently purchased, and in the process of an engine rebuild since one of the pistons was destroyed for some reason. Upgrading most things while I am at it. Flat top pistons, and aluminum heads with 60cc compression chamber to bring up the compression ratio to approximately 9.5:1. Heads have a 175cc intake runner, plus a new roller cam for added low end torque. Also a MAF conversion from Fiveology.
My question is what radiator to buy. I don't care what it looks like, I just want the best bang for my buck, and if I don't have to spend $400 that'd be great. Every where I look I get mixed reviews. Id go to an OEM but there's only two available in the nation from what I find and they want over $500. I read great things about Cold Case, but also reviews saying they've had to warranty them 4 times in a couple years because of leaks where the tubes and tanks connect. This whole project is about building something torquey, efficient, and most of all reliable.
What's the best option in your opinion?
I have always purchased from US Radiator, but when the radiator plastic part began failing on my wifes 97 Cougar Sport (which lasted 17 years with an anode), called them and it's too new of a car and they recommended:
I was very pleased with the product, it was built exactly to the oem specs. What I liked about this place is when I spoke to their support staff, the person I spoke with had definitely experienced getting their hands dirty on a car.......when I asked questions, I got answers....no hesitation. Whit I also liked is they track installation issues that both mechanics & customers have so when you place your order, they order the brand/mfg that has the least amount of reported issues.
