Looking for a radiator from a 91-94 SS, 5MT. Please let me know how much you would like for it.

Thanks,
Chad.

An auto one will work just fine, the only difference is that the auto one has oil cooler ports, but your dont even need to cap them if you dont want to.

Just a friendly fyi

The auto one has the built in tranny cooler and therefore a lower coolant capacity compared to the 5MT one. With the power levels I'm looking at, I would feel more comfortable with one from a 5MT even if it is just slightly more efficient.

I'm using an auto RS one and it is not very efficient ;)

If your worried about the very small difference between the auto and manual radiators, why not just go for the Koyo?

What kind of power are you looking for?

Because I have friend with a good 400chp Legacy running an Automatic non-turbo radiator, and he is just fine, not a single problem...

But hey, I was just giving ya a heads up ;)

Price. Funds are very limited during the school year and I'll look at buying a Koyo next summer.
