Currently the radiators are quite cheap at ford. some of the aftermarket ones don't have drain plugs in them.

For $353 you can get a three core brass/copper one from Ebay.

You don't really need the drain plug, the bottom hose works just as well.


New Natrad radiators are around $200

Yeah, just don't get the ebay aluminium one's.

The core started leaking on mine after a few months, and the aluminium fins are waaaay too easy to bend.
