If you are positive that will take care of your cooling needs and that you'll always keep your stock engine and never modify it then go for it. Otherwise, spending 300 dollars may save you money and cooling headaches in the future.

shop around for a Modine, looks almost stock, drops right in, and is under $200 for a 3 row!
