Re: radiator on ebay

That is a one row radiator, pretty much like any aftermarket replacement with plastic tanks only it has aluminum tanks welded on oe size core. Not a horrible purchase but no where near a 2 row as far as efficiency. Nobody's 2 row aluminum upgrade radiator will just drop in with no modifications because the oem headerplate that is where the radiator sits in the rubber insulator is 2 3/8" and the 2 row aluminum is 2 3/4" thick, period. This may be a quality peice but is not much of an upgrade from an additional cooling stand point. I build custom aluminum radiators for a living so I know what's up with these. That's why they call it a part number "951-AA". It's and industry standard part number 951 for a 3rd gen v8 or 4 cyl which is a one row and the "AA" is for all aluminum. More Questions???? call 800 958 2378 and ask for Scott.

look at the "direct fit" house brand ones from summit or jegs, they are under 300bux and work very well, you do need to tweak your upper fan support though, nothing major. I have one ands its doing a good job on a little over 500 horses
