I bought a 3 row rad from radiatorbarn.com. all metal design. Highly recommend it. But if I did it over I would go 2 row probably. This one now, its winter, is over cooling. Not a bad thing...just now that's its cold it runs very cool. Had to put some card board in the grill. During the summer the hottest days, 100+ degrees, it was around 210. And didnt go much above that unless I hammered on it. And they aren't much more then what you can get at any parts store. But they will last much longer from what I have heard and read.

Go to this website! They are the best I've found, two row aluminum works good for most apps.

Stock fans will work. There is still clearace. I actually plan on taking out my mechanical fan for a nice electric fan. And with the 3 row rad working as good as it does I should have no problems with it. That's something to think about too.
