Not bad and that one will have a warranty, i would chk around the other parts stores and also chk Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market they have junkyard listed parts and ya might find one thats decent, or take urs to a radiator shop and see what they might charge to repair urs, sometimes cheaper.

I went down to the local hotrod shop and bought a 4 core aluminun for $150. It was 2inches wider and 1in taller. I bought a set of there radiator mounts for $11.95. It fit without a problem and still have almost 2 inches of hood clearance.
