Picked this Champion radiator off Ebay for $125

Did you get the single row?  I'm about to make the same purchase, but the only one with a drain in the photos, plus an outlet that looks right is the single row.

 

Nice bay!

Cool, thanks - might have to change the outlet on the two core - looks a little different, like it might hit the subframe.

 

I'll see what the price tag is on the Ron Davis rad and make a decision this weekend...  Thanks again.

Shouldn't hit subframe, It has the upwards bend in it

The one observation I have regarding replacement radiators is the two mounting flanges are not correctly located on the tank.  Stock 2002 radiators will bolt up to the nose with the top tank fitting very close to the opening in the nose (nostril??).  Replacement units seem to have flanges that are welded/brazed flush to the side of the core. This reduces the fan to radiator clearance and then may require use of an electric fan.

Good info, thanks...  I'm going to an electric pusher.
