The most bang for your buck is the one I sell for $309.00 and some change plus freight. It's a 2 row all aluminum. It is less expensive than the Becool and does not use epoxy in its make up like a Griffin. All "direct" fit radiators for this car fit about the same. Need some mods to reattach the top of the fans as the OEM is 2 3/8" thick at the headerplate where the tank mount and thus the rubber insulator, and the replacement is 2 3/4" thick. This, however is not rocket science. I could probably make a plate for you too for about $40.00 additional to bolt these in.
