the rad. on the first two links look the same as far as 3core ALUM rad. the 1 from summit just looks like it was painted black and it does specify 2 core. yep the part #'s are the same so it was a missprint ??? call em up to clarify. Go with the one thats the lowest price.

They all look like FMS radiators. Summit used to run ads in old 5.0 and MM&FF mags showing an all black FMS radiator like in the last pics. The FMS radiator is now silver with black plastic sides. They are probalby the same thing, just the last pic is old. The FMS is a three row.

You wont have any clearing issues. You willl need to cut some of the rubber off from the stock radiator hold downs and possibly even have to bend the ends a little bit. But thats about it. You will be fine.
