Guys:

I don't think this is a hijack at all....I like the way this subject is going. Anything I can do to get more driving time is fine by me.

Mine was built in 89 and I've owned now for 3 years. I believe it is the original vertical radiator. It had a very small GM style electric fan that I've replaced with a more effecient puller type. That did help a little. I had a reputable radiator shop look at the radiator and he said it looks like it should handle the load to him. It's a 4 core brass radiator. I've talked to other Cobra owners who have replaced theirs with a big, diagonal radiator and that cured all their cooling problems.

I figured I'd start with the ceramic coating since it would be the easiest of the two. Once you get in to changing radiators, then your looking at fabricating brackets and such and that's someting I don't have a lot of experience in doing. So....I'd be really interested in knowing what aluminum radiator works best for our Contemporarys with a 427 so.

Thanks,
John
