Radiator Update, And One More Question For 91B2L, Or Anyone :)
Hey guys, after price shopping all day today, I ended up with a brand new Modine Radiator, That I got through a friend of mine for $89 with no tax. Every where I called for radiators, they all said they had three core radiators, but they had brands I never heard of. Well the Radiator I got, which is a Modine (I have heard of them). This was the only model radiator Modine had for my year 1989-5.7. The thing is - it is considered a one row radiator!?? The model # is 951 The radiator is identical to my old one. Why is this new radiator a one row radiator? is it because it just has one big flowing row?? Anyone else with a Modine like this? Just wondering why it is like this.
Thanks for the help!
Mike

That's the one I replaced my old radiator with. No probs so far and I've even had the temp drop lots... although that could be because the other one was leaking at the crimp. 
Yes it's a one row b/c it is aluminum rather than the copper/brass 3 row type.

Thanks Red Devil!!!! That is the info I was looking for! I just wanted to make sure that the new radiator I got was going to cool at least as good as my old one did before it started leaking. It confused me because I thought our original radiators were 3 core, and when I heard the new one was one row, that blew my mind. But you answered my question!
Thanks man!!
