Considering this Rad... a few questions though

Found that by searching... problem is I drive an automatic, do I need something extra on my rad to accomodate that? I've seen mention to radiators being "compatible with automatics" and I need to make sure. Also, will I need to have any brackets fabricated to fit this?

Also, I found a direct bolt-in 3 row brass radiator in my local Advance Auto (http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=GNO&mfrpartnumber=433259&parttype=31&ptset=A)... is the above aluminum rad significantly better than would be this brass one?

Rads for automatics have the tranny cooler ports in them. If not, then you have to upgrade to an external tranny cooler. Should be less than 70 bucks for a decent one.

As I remember, your stocker is 17" wide. The circle track rad will not just drop in. Yo ucan prolly find a way to bolt it up, but you will need to trim the rad suppot else the extra width of the rad will be blocked from air flow.

Brass 3-row is fine in a stock or mildly modified motor. If you have, or will have, a hiPo motor, then an aluminum rad will give you more cooling potential. Your local climate should also be factored in.

here's a link from when i was looking for a radiator. i ended up with an aluminum simalar to your but with different outlets. its a pain i the rectum to mount. the overall width is 22 inches but the cores dont go wider than the hole
