So I plan on doing a 5.0 swap with an Explorer engine maybe this summer (probably next summer if i'm honest with myself), and I was wondering if the Explorer radiator will he sufficient. I often find myself with 1000 lbs in my bed, along with a 1500-2000 lbs trailer behind that in addition. So 2500-3000 more than empty. I just want to have plenty of cooling for things like that on a hot summer day.
Right now I can get that load up to speed if I foot my 3.0 hard, and it hasn't overheated yet.
If I need to retrofit a radiator from a full size pickup or something more that size, I will. Just want some thoughts on that.
