A:Is it a 3.0 liter or what size engine. That makes a differenceWhat part of the country do you live in that also matters because some states are higher than others. New York HIGH where Mississippi LOW. If you have a 3.0 and live anywhere in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or Tennesee I have a 3.0 that came out of an earlier model Windstar but a 3.0 liter is a 3.0 liter as long as the cam confirguration is the same (duel overhead cams DOHC, single overhead cams SOHC or the regular single cam with pushrods engine) Most have the regular. I will take $100 for the engine because a guy bought the truck that it was going in for "muddin" before I installed it. He wanted a bigger engine. As far as the radiator you DO NOT have to scrap it. You can put the radiator on its back with the tranny lines pointed up with a long rubber hose on one of them going into a jug of some type. Then you use compressed air to blow all the bad fluid out of it and then you put a funnel on the end of the hose (or a mustard bottle and squirt fingernail polish remover (acetone) into the line and let it sit for a day. You continue to put acetone in it until you see it come out the other line. Let it set like that for a day or two and then blow out the acetone the same way. The radiator will be fine at that point.
