stock 195 works best. for a replacement i would highly recommend an all metal CSF 2 row or 3 row radiator. a properly working stock cooling system will work just fine

get the 2 row. the 3 row is really a lot wider and causes issues if your motor and tranny mounts are old. ask me how I know.

agreed on the three row. it was just fine till i put my longarm kit on. then something happened and it got together with the fan blades. i guess it was just too much flex in the unibody.
