Default 2-row Radiator

I need to replace the radiator in my 86 Pace Car. My budget won't allow for a DeWitt or Be-Cool, so I'll probably have to go with an aftermarket replacement. I came across one from 1-A Auto that claims to be 2-row/direct-fit. All the specs seem to match. Anybody out there tried one of these yet? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thank You Staugur! That looks like the rad for me. Did it fit right in properly? How's it working out so far?

For anyone interested in the 2-row radiator, here's link:
