The chameleon car is going to get a new rad in a few weeks. While I'm at it, I'm going to replace the A/C condenser since the next project will be refurbing the entire A/C system on the car.
I did some reading and I'm left with a bunch of questions, which I'm hoping you guys can help me with.
1- Am I correct assuming that, as of today, NONE of the "short" condenser options are available for purchas brand new? The last posts I read were back in 2014 saying they were no longer available, but I'm wondering about the status.
2- Assuming there are no "short" versions available, Rock Auto shows APDI/PRO, Spectra Premium, TYC and OSC...any input on the quality of these? I'm interested in factory fit and a/c performance rather than size or obstruction to intercooler.
3- As always, my preference would be to use Motorcraft parts. A quick search hasn't yielded anything, but I will be doing a deeper search to see if I get lucky and source a motorcraft unit. The only part number I have available for the 94-95 condenser is: F6SZ-19712-BA. Does anyone have any other PN's? Perhaps the Motorcraft equivalent number?
4- By any chance, are early vs late model SC-specific condensers compatible? How about compatibility between n/a 3.8 or with 4.6/5.0?
Thanks in advance gents for any help!
