I have a Spectra plastic/aluminum radiator from Autozone. Works fine in my 454 C20 in HotZona 100+ degree heat. Got it with 20% off and free delivery to my door for about $100. I think unless you have a high horsepower engine the regular Spectra is fine. I think it is a 3 row direct fit but the radiator is fairly thick in my estimation. My previous copper/brass radiators would not hold up in the heat. I am a plastic/aluminum fan now.
