New Radiator

Will this Mustang radiator fit out Marauder?

1997-04 MUSTANG SVE ALUMINUM RADIATOR 4.6L
SVE Mustang Aluminum Radiator (97-04) 4.6L - LMR.com (https://lmr.com/item/SVE-8005D/1997-04-Mustang-Aluminum-Radiator-for-Manual-Transmission) part SVE-8005D

with the addition of - Fits Automatic Transmissions with the addition of 2 LRS-4170319 (https://lmr.com/item/LRS-4170319/83-95-Mustang-AOD-E-Cooler-Line-Connector) to adapt factory lines to this radiator.
- We also recommend the use of Mishimoto Radiator Brackets (https://lmr.com/item/MIS-RADMOUNT97/1997-2004-Mustang-Mishimoto-Radiator-Brackets) with this radiator

or can someone recommend a better radiator than factory?

Stock radiator cools very well, I know cars with 500+ ponies in stock cooling. Get a 180 thermostat and a tune upgrade for it.

From my info the radiator is the same as a 2004 Town car. However, there's a size variance with either a 27 1/2" core or a 25 3/5 core.

There isn’t one thing on that radiator that’s the same.

Start off like I did, for starters find something with the proper side in and outs, then move on to the correct size of hose connections. Then make your own brackets.

Thanks. Is a PI radiator the same or is it just that mine is 17 years old and almost has 265,000 miles? Im still sometimes overheating when the car is idling in line like at Costco gas when it’s hot outside. As soon as I drive away, the temp goes back to normal.
What will happen when we go from 80 to 110 outside?

So the PI radiator # is H2MZ-8005-W.
The Marauder is H2MZ-8005-Z.
Can anyone tell me the difference?

If it was your radiator you would be overheating while in motion. That leaves thermostat, air in the system, rust or blocked cooling valleys, or the fan not operating correctly.

Only exemption would be that the entire front area is clogged enough that the fan can no longer keep it cool, of course in motion you would still be overheating. We have some cottonwood trees in my neighborhood that in a course of 5-6 years literally leave a 1” thick wool blanket between my radiator and condenser that I need to lean the radiator back and flush it with a hose. Well at least when it was stock. It doesn’t seem to collect there any more with all my changes.

Well silver started overheating again.
After sitting all day, I started her up.
It was 100 degrees outside so I turned the AC on. I herd a loud noise coming from the engine area. My fan has lost a bearing and the fan is hitting the shroud. I turn her off.
Ordered TYC 621290 Ford/Mercury Replacement Radiator/Condenser Cooling Fan Assembly from Amazon for $94.64 + tax. I expect to receive it Tuesday. I have 183,000 miles on silver.
My black lost its fan around the same mileage. Any one else lose their fan with less than 175,000 miles? Im thinking that is approximately the life of the fan.
