Cool

Get a Ranger rad out of a late 80's-early 90's V6 Ranger. They have thicker cores. Also the 4.0 Explorer rads are good. You might like this write-up..............

Truthfully, Volvo I/C's aren't that great. They don't flow very well and the plastic tanks tend to blow under high boost. They'll do, but if you're leaning toward performance, I'd go with something else. I've heard good things about some of the ebay I/C's. Stinger makes an awesome I/C kit. I went with a large NPR, Volvo radiator and SuperCoupe fan.
