OK, (third post on this thread, I am hung up on cooling on the 603 engine!)
I am interested. I need a radiator for another '87 I am working on and I would consider buying a 3-row in a heartbeat, if it was the same size as the original. please ask your mechanic, I have a three row on one of my 123's and can tell you it makes a big difference! I won't need one for a month or so (the head is being sent to be rebuilt) but was planning on looking for a custom welded alternative if a rebuilder can't be found that does 3-row upgrades. This car is going to Texas and I want it to run cool!

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

I have my aux fan running on high 100% of the time, it seems to not be a problem at idle even with the a/c on but when under load is a diff story. I think I will try the set up mentioned earlier on this tread using the clutch from a Mazda or mitsubishi truck, if it works its a lot better than sinking $200+ on a OEM fan clutch as opposed to maybe $10 to $20 at the pull it yourself yard. If you get 2 years out of it then you just go get another one
