[V8] UPDATE - Radiator Replacement autocoolradiators.com

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Sounds familiar.  Here's a little snippet from me on August 30th of last
year:

....If you have to replace the radiator, I suggest an OEM unit.  I saved a
few
$$ and got a non-oem replacement and it was different enough that I had to
use a cutting wheel to make it fit and my own rubber mounts -- but the extra
time wasn't worth the $$ savings.
