One other thing to keep in mind is the two mounting bolts that hold the rad onto the frame. Soak 'em with PB Blaster at least overnight - if not longer! I had one come off easy but the other was rusted tight and I spun the bolt off of the frame, leaving a hole in the frame where the bolt was mounted. I had to run to Home Depot and fashion together a fix.

I bought a radiator from RockAuto and it is identical to the radiator I removed except the oil and trans couplers were separate brass fittings that I had to screw on myself.
Here is the info on it:
PRO 8012099 Radiator $ 118.79
PRO is the brand, I guess they're some kind of OE cloning company. My upper oil hose is leaking but I never replaced the o-rings and that is likely the problem, not the radiator itself.
