Default Aluminum Radiator

Anyone know the stock size of a 2 row radiator in a 92 mustang?
Need the dimensions because I've got a nice little ding in mine and its deciding to leak ever so slowly now.

Also, These things are damn pricey.
Be Cool sells a radiator for FIVE HUNDRED BUX!
seriously now...

I was looking at the Summit ones and they look reasonable.
Are they reliable as well?
Or should I be looking towards another company?

we run a 31X19 Griffin NASCAR the one with 2 rows of 1in. cores rad in the wifes car and lots of my mustang friends also run them the same size and smaller.you may need to trim up the lower hose and will need to do light mods to use the stock fan shroud.but they cool great and dont run much $$$$.they are in the summit sales book.not sure on how wide the stock one is but 19 tall works great.you cant go wrong with the Griffin rad.keeps the wifes blower car cool even on the hot nights or in stop and go.

How wide are the stock rows tho?
1"?

I need to keep it basically the same as is so my electric fan will clear my water pump pulley...

I just put a griffin rad. with the two 1 in cores in a guys stang. for him and he has a black magic fan I had no problems at all with the fan even coming close to anything. my friend has the same rad. as we do and has a Ford focus fan set up and his fit with out a problem also.hell we ran the stock fan and shroud on the wifes car with no problems with it with a supercharger.I just had to trim the shroud to clear the 8 rib belt.and it only cost us $190
