Can't find this for sale anywhere else but flea bay. What's that telling you? Made in Japan! They don't say what the row thickness is. It's only 2 inches thick so each row is about a half inch. That's only 1/4 inch difference from the stock one.

The mounting holes are there for the 8 liter radiator. I would go with that.

I'm still trying to decide on which way to go, but after HeyYou pointing out the mounting holes I'm leaning towards the 8.0 radiator. Now just to hunt around and see what I can find.

Welcome. For what it's worth, I'm seeing the same problem you're seeing. Temp rises when running the a/c and I have the electric fans and adjusted the coolant ratio to 70/30 water to coolant. Ratio helped but didn't solve the problem. I'll probably try the 3 core aluminum next summer.

Just wanted to add the core dimensions for the v6/v8 and the v10 radiators for anyone else looking at this.

5.9L (360) Core Dimensions: 31.63 x 19.19 x 1.25 in., inlet/outlet: 1.5 in., 1.75 in.

8L; Core Dim: 36 X 19-3/8 X 2-3/8, inlet/outlet: 1.75 in., 2.0 in.
