How many rows?
I'm searching for a new radiator and I've found a store that has a "upgrade 3-row" radiator. What comes stock?

The three row is from 1A Auto. Why not the brass type, and do these three row radiators fit?

Keep in mind that you can't mount anything to an aluminum radiator (ie. using the zip strips that go through the radiator to hook up an aftermarket fan). Its too brittle of a metal and will crack the core.

When looking at radiators there have been two types advertised. One is a "three core" and the other a "three row." what is the difference?

same thing.
i can attest that the rows really dont matter. you need to check the surface area.
given the radiator is the same size and material, a 1 row 1 5/8 tube radiator will outflow a 3 row 1/2 tube
i have a pretty radial stroker and my car has never seen over 190 sitting in traffic in the dead of summer. runs 170 all day long.
all i have is a ole cheapy stock replacement for a v6 from advance.
