OK...I will try to stir less trouble with this question. In the 87 T I picked up in the fall I drained the radiator to do some work...not liking the looks on the inside of this thing. Contacted my local radiator shop I've dealt with for years and they had no leads on any aftermarket stock replacements that were not stupid expensive and quoted me as much for a recore as new aluminum unit from GN1 or Kirban ($300 to $500 for recore).
NAPA shows a stock replacement for over $600...big NOPE on that one.
Now...the question comes I found this unit from Rock Auto for a price I'm willing to live with for now. Just trying to see if any other clearance rack shoppers like me have tried this piece. It states it does have the coolers internal like stock, core is aluminum, end tanks plastic, and the dimensions to appear to be stock size from the research I've done on the stock radiator.

I understand the Cold Case unit and other comparable aluminum pieces out there are really nice pieces, but I don't have the coin to drop on one of those right now after all the other items I've already had to address. TIA.
