I would be interested to know if that one you posted is any good. For the cost it looks like a nice piece.

How cheap is cheap to you?

I love my Griffin, $180 from Summit... it's the 31x19" universal 2 row... fairly well documented on here. The only downside is it doesn't have a petcock so you've got to pull your lower hose to drain the coolant, but who cares, it's a top quality aluminum radiator for under $200. Eventually I might have a radiator shop braze in a petcock if I can have it done fairly cheap.

I have the 5.0 resto 3 row radiator. Cheap but a quality radiator. Certainly does everything I ask of it, even on hot days out racing it can easily keep up with cooling demands. Nice piece IMO.

I went for the Modine two core for around $180 and its been handling 100+ temps with the a/c on for a few years now.

My 90 fox had a over heating / high temp issue for a while, I chased it with flush's and T stats. Finally i got a stock 2 row pass radiator with AOD cooler in it and all the worries went away. Im in tampabay area and its hot as hell here also in traffic , unless you have alot of mods and such a 2 row pass will be fine.After removeing the old 17 year old rad , i began flushing it and omg was it clogged
