Well rad is leaking and need a new one. My car is basically stock ( 92 LX 5.0 5-speed). I do plan on adding a trick flow top end kit and supercharger down the road. So what kind should i get? Thanks for the input.

I have an electric fan from a Volvo and a Flex-a-lite fan controller.

I run an aluminum 2 core radiator from Northern. It is pretty much a direct bolt in. I had to modify the hold down brackets a little but other than that its a nice unit. It has the slots for all the fan shroud mounting clips and screws so you can bolt the stock shroud right up to it.

Nice Radiator. That fan kit fits perfectly. How much did the mishimoto set you back? I might start looking for one for the 70'.
I went with a Griffin 31x19 and its been cooling just fine.

I'm in the market for a new rad as well, that Mishimoto piece looks nice and the price isn't bad either. I will have to check them out.

I run one of the cheap Aluminum 1 core replacements available many places online. It is nice and light and I have never had any issues. I believe I got mine from rockauto for like $100. For a stock car it is more than enough and cools far better than the orignal ever did.

Stock fan as well.
