Okay boys and girls i know it's been kicked around before but i've had my truck torn apart so long i'm unsure how tough fittament would be if i bought a universal race-style radiator.

I know lots of folks have used other apps and such and with electric fans there is usually quite a bit of room in these trucks between front of motor and radiator.

I know cost on the universals is about 1/2 of the custom fit ones and for my app i need a lot of cooling on this BBC/trans so a 4 core won't cut it at all.

I'm thinking either of shelling out for the griffin 2x1.5"core rad for our trucks or just biting the bullet on a universal and fabbing up some fit... please share your thoughts/experiences please.
