The other places I looked were 230-250. Yes that was my review, because the part numbers were weird. But the right thing showed up.
RadiatorBarn got bought out, that was another supplier referenced here.
Just wanted to give another go-to option.

I don't think so. I had one of these 2 row CSF in my XJ for 2 years and you know the heating concerns I had. On long hills / mountain climbs I would grace 230* if the weather was hot.
When I fixed my A/C about a month ago I took out the the CSF and put in a stock aluminum / plastic rad from NAPA. (Spectra Premium) I am experiencing a night and day difference from the painted copper/brass CSF.
From my measurement when I had the CSF out, the fins are not any thicker than the stock given the gap between them. The stock NAPA radiator coupled with a new dealership tstat (the Motorad kind), a new a/c condensor and a ZJ fan clutch have really put my mind at ease regarding keeping my XJ cool this summer. I don't think I've even been to 210* yet sitting in traffic or climbing a hill in 90+ ambient in the past month. (Disclaimer: I still need to do some more testing to really gauge how much better my cooling system is. Your mileage my vary of course.
