    I have a 1990 5.0 GT hatch. With basic mods for right now. I/H/E and a 3 row copper radiator. I will be adding new GT40 Heads and Ford Racing roller rockers and new Ford racing Upper and Lower intake manifold. And some pullies. And got a Ford racing Aluminum Radiator thats in my garage.

    BUT...THis stuff will all come in a year or two. So not right now. But I will be moving to Arizona in Three months and am worried about cooling in the Arizona Heat. It's basicly a stock motor.


    But in another post about Cooling I found this suggestion to someone having cooling issues.

    Get a Ford Racing Radiator, Mark VIII electric fan, 180 degrees thermostat, upgrade your altenator and a high flow water pump.

    I will have to Save my money right now but can I still cruise with the stock setup for right now?
