My $150 (shipped) E-Bay radiator showed up today, I was pleased with the overall appearance, everything is welded/soldered & NO epoxy.but there were a few issues.
1. Only one of the bolt holes lined up with the factory ones in the core support. no big deal, I just drilled 3 new ones.
2. the upper hose inlet is too close to the center of the tank, & hit my huge 7-blade factory fan (not cool) I have a smaller diameter fan that I'll have to use until I can have the inlet moved over a few inches.
3. The trans. cooler did not come with fittings, so I'll be making another trip to the hardware store.
So, I guess if you're willing to do some minor mods to make it work, I still think it's a good deal. If you want one that bolts right up like factory, Then spend the extra coin.
