radiator help

I picked up a explorer radiator today to swap into my b22. what all is needed to swap it out. the water outlet on the bottom is hitting the frame. please help ASAP

I would've gotten a new 2-row radiator for B2200, like the automatics use, that's what I have, works great.

Can't help make wrong part fit.

not mentioned, it has an engine and trans from a windstar

so, those must have just fit.

why wouldnt another random ford part fit?

stupid mazda engineers, not even thinking about that guy who finds any old car part and expects it to fall in place


by the way, i just scored some wheels off a 50 ton dump truck, they should bolt right up on my mazda, right?

couldn't find a factory replacement in a 2 core but the replacement for the auto transmission does have a core that is 1/4 thicker and flows more coolant. i does perfect. i have since installed a second fan and it stays cool. i put a 160' t-stat in with a separate trans cooler for an r/v towing 10k lbs. it works wonders. when i put a 3inch body lift on i might build the brackets and put in that 3 core rad from a 4.0 explorer. i will have a lot more room.

to be exact the windstar is fwd while the aerostar is rwd. and one more thing if you had the knowledge you would know how to build the adapters to make those truck wheels fit on your mazda. think before you open your fly trap
