    Radiator question

    Is the radiator for the Gen III (Coyote configuration) the same size as the radiator for the Gen II?

    Thanks.

    The Gen 3 Coupe uses the same radiator as the Roadster, which is different than what they used to provide. They're no longer supplying Afco Racing radiators. They have a new supplier (unmarked, but from the packaging appears to be from offshore) that has an angled bottom connection versus the previous straight one on the Afco. Nice for the Roadster because it no longer interferes with the chassis tow hook. A little challenging for the Gen 3 Coupe. But that's what they've standardized on. 99.9% certain they supply the same radiator no matter the intended engine.

    If the Gen 2 Coupe also used the same radiator as the Roadster at the time, then it's different now. If it was something unique to the Gen 2 Coupe, well that's obviously different now also.

    What I'm really interested in is whether the cooling capacity of the radiator supplied with the Gen III coupe is greater than the cooling capacity of the radiator supplied with the Gen II coupe?
