its not the amount of rows that matters it is the size of the rows. Like this.. I have a 1 row radiator but its 1 row thats is 1" wide. this flows better than the 3 row brass one it replaced. The engine runs cooler.. If you can get 2 rows that are 1 inch wide for each row you should be fine.

I have always had good luck with AFCO aluminum 2 row radiators from Holcomb Motorsports for $219. They are thick and work very well.

I installed the Motorsport "Cobra" radiator in my 92. That was...OMG...10 years ago! It's a great radiator for a decent price...assuming it's still available. I think I paid around $159 at Summit.

It's about 2" thick tho...and the stock brackets don't fit very well. You can make it work, but some larger aftermarket brakets would be better.

Here is the fan i run on my 93 LX. Its kind of noisy but it came with every thing needed to install it. And it fits neatly in the stock shroud
