:angry4: ok update:

first off my upper hose busted so i had to get a new one, and i had to get a universal flex hose non of the ones we looked at would work, it sucks :angry4: but when i put it on i figured the rad. leaks, im just gonna pull it now why i have all the coolant drained, so the radiator is out as of now, when i get a summit alum. radiator i think im gonna get the gm (25x19x2) my opening is 22x22 total this is a good choice right? and i am gonna change the thromostat to a 160 or at least a 180 the 190 gets the motor too hot and it will only be driven in the summer,i aint replacing fender patches soon cause of the dumb salt. o yes and i need a trans cooler, im getting an external one cause i'll probably be swapping to a manual soon. any sugestions, i dont need something really huge or high performance. and this end of winter when i start my engine building class im gonna tear down a 360(dad said maybe i could use his 340) for the cuda. i cant wait. o and shorty i'll be bringing my cuda into my body class to do the quarter pannels on it, that should be intresting i hope they fit better then my fender patches did, which they didnt :angry4: and i still gotta finish the drivers fender...then road ready woooooo i cant wait(by then it will be winter probably :( i'll be very sad)

As long as that summit radiator fits between the frame that should be a good one for you. I'd run a 180* thermostat. I drive mine in 100* heat with a 180 and no issues. The summit radiator doesnt have a trans cooler, if your running just a stock converter you shouldn't need a very big one.
