Best replacement radiator?
 
I have a 93 gt auto (mostly stock). It's time to replace the radiator. I know fluidyne makes a good unit, but are they worth the money? What does everyone else run/recommend? Thanks in advance.

I have a Auto Zone 3 core cost $146. Fit pretty good but needed to tweak the mount brackets. Keeps my mostly stock car cool, I did not know at the time the 3 row was not stock. That radiator is probably as good as any 3 row copper brass you can get, A 4 row would probably require an electric fan and removal of the factory shroud.

Anything better get a good aluminum radiator, not cheap but they can work real good.

I have a pep boys 3-core HD radiator that I bought new for $99 and it has worked great.

Chevyguy is right about the brackets, they need to be modified a little. The radiator is made by GO-DAN industries or GDI for short. It was the same price as the stock replacement 2-core, so it makes sense to go with a 3-core or Heavy Duty as it said on their computer.

Hmm Sounds like I got bent over by Autozone. For about 85% of their parts they are drastically lower than everybody, but some stuff is better elsewhere, it pays to call around eh!
