After having so many cooling issues and now spending a few thousand $$ to rebuild the engine, I'm basically paranoid of overheating so I'm ordered one of these:

I'm not super happy that it is aluminum and won't look as original but I'd rather look a little less original than deal with overheating issues again.

When researching aluminum radiator options a while back, I had decided on PCP as a supplier. They do make some good aluminum radiator options.
