Mine went in fine with the "reshaping" of the upper brackets. The stock shroud fit ok, I also installed a flex fan at the same time due to mulitple cracks in the sock fan. I had some tight fan to shroud clearence and rubbed. Re-tweaking of the shroud clips underneath got things working fine.
I still can't imagine nobody makes larger upper mounts to fit the larger radiators in easy. The "reshaping" makes them look like crap. And the originals look like crap anyways.
I did not even know the 3 row was not stock till I removed the old radiator, I had just bought the car and knew it had a leaky radiator, ( 7 empty prestone gallons inside the car was a clue too!). It runs nice and cool, seems to be worth the trouble!
