Radiator fit question

[Dagwoods]

I'm just about to order my cooling system components and had a couple of questions:

1. There seems to be some confusion on if AFCO still supplies the FFR radiator. The reason I ask is that Breeze has a note for their cooling EZePack Note: This configuration is for small block Ford engines and FFR AFCO radiators and is not for Coyote engine installations with the newer FFR sourced radiator. I would like to use this breeze pack, but does it fit the FFR radiator currently being offered (part#14031)? I am not going to use a coyote engine, but the note is a little confusing about the "newer" sourced radiator. I am assuming if I am using a sbf and the new FFR radiator, that the breeze shrouds would fit.

2. The FFR radiator dimensions are listed as 27.5 X 19. I found this "cobra kit car" AFCO radiator https://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-Cobra-Kit-Car-Radiator,275213.html that is listed as 27.5 X 22.5. Would this fit with the tank width being larger. Do you think the breeze shroud and mounts would still work? For the price it is being sold at, may be worth trying it out.

I plan on calling breeze when I get home from work to double check, but thought I would ask in case anyone has any ideas.

thanks,

I received my kit on 2/17 and I used the breeze shroud and it fit fine. When I asked them I was told the rads changed and all the new ones where AFCO and the shroud will fit. That how ever was a year ago. I suggest you call them, they great and will tell you what you need.

I received my complete kit with FFR radiator 1/6/18. I used the complete Breeze upper and lower mount kits. No issues. Great kit!

The radiators for the Roadster and the Coupe (both the same now) are not from Afco. It's been like that for a couple years. Mark at Breeze has this shroud for the non-Afco radiator. http://www.breezeautomotive.com/details.php?prod_id=1117. I liked the Afco radiators. They were nice pieces. The new ones appear to be imported so it's likely a price thing. The lower tube on the new one is angled, which actually makes the installation on the Roadster easier. I'd go with it. The EzePak Cool setup clearly has the Afco style shroud. Perhaps Mark would change for the other one. If you really need all those additional parts.

Thanks for the rad clarification Edwardb. I was under the impression it was AFCO when I talked to Breeze, but again that was a year ago. I do remember that mine came in a unlabeled box so I had no clue who made it.

received my kit on 8/17 and it has the AFCO radiator (angled inlet perpendicular outlet). I'm in the process of switching the 32204 shroud that I order from Breeze for the #32088.

Hi Andrew, my complete kit was delivered 11 months ago and I bought the upper and lower breeze mounting kits and the breeze shroud about last July and all were a great fit. Any questions call breeze Mark will get you what you need

Thanks for the quick reply everyone. Seems like the consensus is that the FFR radiator is good to go as long as you get the appropriate breeze shroud and mounts.

For my second question, the link I posted shows what looks to be identical to the FFR one. Although I think the website has the radiator upside down. The width is identical and includes the angled inlet tube. I think I am going to have to order it for the price and see if it fits. The only downside is the no return policy for the sale pricing.

Anyone see anything obvious that would prevent it from fitting or using with the shroud/mounting kit?

I think you're right, it looks like it's upside down. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be compatable with the breeze items.

Agree that picture is upside down. Also agree that appears to be the same Afco radiator Factory Five used. I just measured the Afco in #8674. Matches the dimensions given. Just a wild guess, but I'd bet those are leftovers from Factory Five switching suppliers. I'd grab one.

Awesome. Thanks for checking that. I'm thinking you're correct on leftover supply. I found an archived page for their "factory five roadster radiator" that was no longer available, but showed an identical photo. I'll update if I find out anything more and/or run into any fitment issues.

[Dagwoods]

Radiator arrived today and just wanted to put this thread to bed in case anyone else was on the fence about ordering. Was fairly confident after comments about it being leftover supply and the measurements taken by Edward. The receipt seems to agree and even calls it a Factory Five radiator.

I had to replace mine and used the new one, no issues. Call Mark at Breeze, you won’t be sorry.
