Default ford racing aluminum radiator

hi i have a pretty much stock car and im looking to start making upgrades to make it run better rather than speed mods .. so what do you guys think of the ford racing aluminum 3 row radiator ??? i thought i had read somewhere about people having problems with the fittings ?? anyone know about that ?also ive read in descriptions of the part that you have to bend the mounting brackets .. how bad do you have to bend them ? cuz i wanted to get those nice chrome ones but i dont want to have to destroy them to get them to work .... any info ???

First off they are 2 row but still thicker than stock. I have the long plate style mount and fits fine. Fitment wasn't bad, you have to cut 2 tabs off like it says in the instructions

I have the stock rad mounts on mine and had to bend them a little and remove the rubber isolators. And as already mentioned, the little posts/tabs need to be trimmed off the radiator.
