Don't tell Frank, but I bought a Chinese aluminum crossflow radiator on ebay a couple of years ago for $145.95 shipped to my door.  Fit perfectly and worked properly.  The only thing I didn't like was that the fasteners were metric (ewww).   

All fans work better as pullers.

Bruce,

I'm running a Geo Metro radiator and a Hayden electric fan.  I can't get
the car to overheat even in 100* weather.

I decided to sell the car a year after installing the radiator and listed it=
 on Craigslist.  I guy from St. Louis, MO flew up here, counted out a pile o=
f hundred dollar bills, and drove the car home - in January!  Last I heard t=
he radiator was still working perfectly.  :-)
