In modified or hard-driven 5.0L Windsor and 3.8L applications, the stock core volume cannot shed heat fast enough, leading to rapid heat soak, elevated cylinder head temperatures, ignition timing retard, and degraded automatic transmission fluid life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis crossflow performance radiator is manufactured from high-grade AA5052 aluminum with 100% precision TIG-welded end tanks, entirely eliminating failure-prone plastic joints. The heavy-duty 3-row core (24-inch width by 17-inch height) substantially increases coolant capacity and heat-dissipating surface area over OEM specifications. It features an integrated 38 mm x 200 mm internal transmission fluid cooler with 1\/4-18 NPT fittings to maintain stable transmission line pressures and temperatures. Every unit is 100% pressure-tested to ensure leak-free operation under aggressive cooling system demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1987-1993 Ford Mustang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e3.8L Essex V6 \/ 5.0L Windsor V8 \/ Fox Platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e140–225 hp \/ 160–300 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eDPI 138, CU138, CC138, RAD138, MC138\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1987-1993 Ford Mustang LX 5.0L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1987-1993 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 5.0L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1987-1993 Ford Mustang 3.8L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Designed for Fox-Body platforms only; does not fit 1994-1996 SN95 chassis.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Muscle Heritage Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to handle the thermal demands of high-output V8 powerbands, this all-aluminum radiator delivers continuous cooling efficiency to keep your Fox-Body performing consistently on both the street and strip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50426403258616,"sku":"DS-ELBQK2I9A","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-ford-mustang-1987-1993-3-8l-5-0l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788398211","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-ford-mustang-1987-1993-3-8l-5-0l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
