    I went with a champion, but I kept a watch on eBay until I found one that had a small dent and got it for way less. It was brand new in the box, if you have a bit of time keep an eye out and they pop up fairly often.

    If that radiator does work please tell me but I have to say that I also tried an aftermarket radiator that was a bit different and was disappointed. It didn't have rounded edges but everything else was the same. Be careful because when I tried to install the aftermarket radiator from ebay it turned out that not only did the radiator not line up with the bracket but it was to tall and wide! You might have to trim a bit but in the end I returned it and bought an original stock 2-row radiator at a local auto shop near me.

    You will have to trim a bit of your lower brace, but it's a relatively easy installation. Seems to work great so far!
