Not sure if this is the same link you had, but I bought my CSF brand 3 row all metal radiator from www.radiator.com. They route your order to the distributor nearest you. I paid like $150 something, but I picked it up myself. Many others on here have these as well. It's about 1/2 inch thicker than stock, but required no modification to either the electric or mechanical fan. It was drop in.

I read someone else went to radiatorbarn.com. They seem to have good prices and free shipping.

Default ME TOO!

I ordered one about a week ago. It came in two business days. Looks like it should fit but I need to get some other parts before I install. Let us know how it goes.

Good deal. I would just say that if you're not already planning to do so, go ahead and replace water pump, t-stat, fan clutch and the belt while you have the radiator out. There's so much more room to work on things.

Lesson learned from my install...lay the mechanical fan shroud over the fan before you slide the radiator in, because once the rad is in you cannot squeeze the shroud between the rad and the fan. I tried to and busted the shroud...had to lift the rad back out a little to get the new shroud on.
