Well...the radiator is leaking. Of course it is. This will be the third time draining the cooling system. Thankfully it is so far a very slow leak, planning to buy the 1 core spectra radiator.-Phil

Just don't ignore the slow leak. I did that. Noticed the Town Car steaming a tiny bit on some odd occasions around Thanksgiving a few years ago. Tried to put it off till after the holidays and hopefully until warmer weather. Nope. Car said fuck you and the radiator started dumping all the antifreeze between here and work (~6 miles). Of course that was mid-January...so I changed the radiator on a sunny 20* day in my driveway. And as an added bonus, both trans lines broke when I undid them. The good thing was that the Spectra radiator dropped right in, exact match for the original, and the car ran cooler in the following summers. That job still sucked in the cold.-Steve

+1 on the A552. The Mad Marquis didn't even flinch with temps after installing that beast.

It's already ordered. I have the 3 core in the LTD, didn't notice a difference between the 2 core brass and 3 core when i put it in, still got hot in the summer with the A/C on and the 2 core brass is equivalent to the 1 core aluminum. Plus i don't have any of the bottom or top support pieces that would allow it to fit, and as I recall the hose size is different either on the top or the bottom. I'm doing as little modification as I can. I'd consider this: https://www.radiatorexpress.com/prod...aia_id=1131321 but it's almost double the price and im hurting for money right now with all these sudden unexpected fixes one after the otherLast edited by Brown_Muscle; 11-06-2017, 10:04 AM.-Phil

Yeah... gotta gut the bottom mount and get a second long top mount and use a 351 car top hose. The A552 is better than a single row for sure. Texas tested. But the single row will do the job if you're not towing.

Regardless, your reasoning is sound. Unfortunately I would be unable to help you on the brackets even if you did get the A552, as AFAIK my stash just got depleted by Heretic's car.
And I hear ya on the snowball repairs - tis why I still run that V8 boat anchor instead of a proper inline 6, the V8 ended up needing lots of work well before an I6 was in sight - which of course burned up half the I6 swap funding, so yeah, life's a bitch, lolThe ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

Its not so much the number of cores but the sizes. The reason the usual claim is 1 aluminum = 2 brass is the tube size. Brass tubes are relatively small, where the aluminum ones are much wider. The total core thickness is fairly comparable so it doesn't matter that its one row of tubes vs 2. Its all about surface area.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
