What is the stock radiator? 1 or 2 row? better?
Well my radiator gave, it has cracks in the plastic tanks, and leaks every were.
I need to buy a new one, I have a 86 iroc w/ 305 TPI, Did they come with 2 or 1 row?
What one is better, i know 2 should be there but idk in these cars as much.
Should I get a aluminum one? or stock plastic one? is the aluminum any better? and If I get aluminum should i get 1 or 2 row?

A 2-row aluminum would be the best way to go. When our stock tanks go, it always seems to be the PLASTIC tanks that blow.
I'm not sure of a aluminum 2-row, with a tranny cooler in it though, if you need one.
An aftermarket tranny cooler will probably work better anyways.

If you have no major engine modifications and aren't planning on any and if you currently have no overheating problems, a stock replacement should be fine.

A lower temp (like 180) thermostat never hurts.
