Ok so i have an 85 Bronco II with the 2.8, and i am pretty sure my radiator leaks. I was gonna go with a rad from an explorer, but my brother has one from a 5.0 that was in a e150 or e250 he had that is in nice condition. Will this work and if so how much fab would i have to do o get it to fit?

its too wide. It won't match the core supports. That's a lot of drill-'n-space work. If you really want a bigger rad get a 4.0 rad. It will go right in, direct bolt.

Ok thanks. Yeah i planned on getting one from the 4l but thought should ask if it would work anyway, cuz if it did they would be saving some money but oh well.
