Best aftermarket radiator

When I put my rebuilt motor in I want a better radiator than stock. What are our options?

A lot of folks here just put a cheap eBay rad. Works fine

Nissens has been the go-to for years. Not better than stock so far as I know, but well made.

I currently have a Nissens but really want a full aluminum if I can. Most of what I see are manual transmission ones without the trans cooler.
In my experience a better rad can never hurt. Even if partial clogged with mud and debris they can help keep you cool.

On a D2 the oil & trans coolers are separate from the radiator.

Somewhere I saw a guy with a highly modded D2. He ordered an aluminum one from JEGS with electric fans. If I find the youtube video I'll post the link. Id spend the money on it.
