Default Looking to buy for a Radiator

I'm sure it has been discussed numerous time but I've searched and I couldn't find any post. I took my 95 ZR-1 for a drive up in Hwy 49 and did a little spirited driving. Noticed my temp went up to 240*F. I finally had a time to remove radiator at my shop. Attempted to clean it because it was externally clogged. Can barely see the sun when looking through it. As I attempted to clean, found the left tank is starting to crack. Time for a new one. Now my question is, which radiator has the best fit and price. I'm been looking at DeWitts, Ron Davis, Griffin and some other. Thanks in advance.

How do I delete the "for" in title?

Thanks. DeWitts was the one I was thinking of getting but wasn't sure about the fitment. Now that I read the link, DeWitts it is.

Thanks Again,
Bennie

I just installed a Fluidyne in my Z. Working very well and fit was no problem. On a cooler day, it takes a bit to warm up motor to operating temps. However, less likely to overheat and temps stay pretty consistent.
I even raised the temp in my calibration for the fans to come on.

Dominic,
Did you install the single row or double row?

Thanks,

Honestly, I don't know. Perhaps one of the others w a Fluidyne could chime in.

I might get the 2 rows since Summit Racing has it in stock. I will call up DeWitts tomorrow for their recommendation.
