'91 radiator fit '87 XJ?
My son has an '87 XJ, 4.0, 5spd. The rad is lookin a bit shaky, so I figure it's better to replace it now.
My parts store has a Spectra rad for '91-'01 in stock for $90. Or he can get me one for '87-'90, it's a Vista, at $130, and won't be in till Friday and require 2 trips to the store. (one to order and pay and another to pickup) It looks like the only differance is the newer one has a radiator cap.
Anyone know if the newer one will fit (with minor mods ok)?
I know I'll have to get a cap and overflow hose and tank, and that it'll convert the closed system to an open system.
Thanx for your help
