I saw that and wondered too....
Is it too good to be true?
Wonder if any bought it and inspected it yet.

I you decide to purchase from this vendor, be careful, they have a slew of negative remarks on eekbay and that's usually a sign of inferior items and/or
piss poor business practices. Pics of radiator even though generic, welding looks a little less then stellar in my book. Stick with a name brand like Ron Davis or Fluiddyne, pay more but you won't regret it...

Our stock rads are a single section of tubes. They're fairly large, but just one row in the core. :o Remember for it all to work, the fans must be effective in pulling air thru the entire stack. Sometimes more is less...sometimes.:o
I was watching the Rolex 24 and after they had a show from this year's SEMA show and someone had a new line of direct fit OE replacement rads.....not the high performance verity...but all aluminum replicas of plastic tank/aluminum core.....I want to say it was fluidmaster, but I'm not sure. I should pay more attention, damn it!:o
:cheers:

Tom I agree with that assessment a larger radiator buys you more time at a stop. I remember chasing down my overheating issue with my 67 Camaro. Factory was a 1 row radiator which for Arizona was laughable and a factory 4 blade fan. After many trials a 4 row radiator and a weighted multiblade flexfan was the only way to solve the problem. I had to increase both capacity and the fan.
If I was to go with a bigger radiator for this car higher RPM SPALs might have to be added as well in order to deal with the Arizona heat. For now I will stick with factory cooling it works fine.
