I'm also look for a cheap alternative to the expensive radiators out there, how about a V-8 explorer rad?

There are as many choices out there for radiators as there is motor mount setups.
Yeah you can use the v-8 explorer rad with a few modifications.
Just take some measurments to see how big a rad. you can fit in there. Then go to your local junk yd. and look around.
If you want to put the rad under the core support you will need a little smaller rad.

i have a 90's mustang (have to look up what exact year),had to do a lot of trimming around the core support.ebay score for $120.
also used the 2 speed e-fan and shroud.
you can get a new one at napa for around $80,without the the fan of course.

a 2-row 4.0 radiator out of an explorer would be sufficient for most stock or lightly modified V-8's, particularly if you have a good shroud and/or a mechanical fan. short water pumps are available if clearence ends up being an issue.

what's an flx-40 fan? If it's a flex fan, i'd advise against it. A mechanical clutch fan is best option for efficient cooling.
