Look in the performance threads for a beautiful custom radiator that LookForJoe had made... It was ~$450 but DOES NOT have provisions for oil and tranny coolers built in if you need those...

That is very tempting for the next time I have to replace mine...I already have an aux. tranny cooler and have plans to upgrade to the newer 99+ style oil pan with external cooler...food for thought.

They can add coolers to any spec - not sure about the couplers, though.

For the OP - a simple aftermarket rad would work fine - I buy them off the eBay vendors, usually no more than $125-150. The construction is all the same. Some offer lifetime warranties, too.

I think I'm going to go for OEM, the problem is whenever I've called Tasca in the past it doesn't seem they have lower prices than anywhere else, do you need to say you're from VS or something?

Tasca's site lists 3 different radiators but no differentiation in brands????
