The dimensions given: 34x19 are the core dimensions for the long radiator you see in my photo. In other words, the 2WD 454 4-core sized radiator. The short version of that radiator (the radiator used in everything else, except the 6.2's) is 28x19 (core size).

Well, that's the only one I bought so that's the only experience I have with them, but so far I'm pleased with looks and function of it, so I figure I'll put one in my truck too, I'm thinking of going with Winstar fans, been reading quite a bit on them and they seem to move a lot of air and don't use up a lot of juice to run them, but I'll find out when I try them,lol..

Very good to know. Might be worth it actually in the long run to upgrade to what you did.

is he running electric fans? how many rows was it? besides the ascetics hows the functionality of it?

The car is stock, no electric fans. Just a puny stock four blade fan(could benefit from something a little bigger). In got the two row version due to clearance issues. It works fine havent had any issues with it, but i must say that car doesnt see the road much other than the weekend drive here and there. The fit was ok had to drill holes on the radiator mounting bracket.
