I ran one. It is NOT drop in at all! You'll have to come up with some upper mounts and there is no room for the factory fan and shroud. I was forced to go with electric fans.

I had the two row.

If you search, I posted an informative thread with pics about my experience with that rad.

I'll try to find it for you later...

No it didnt just drop right in. You had to beat the lower radiator support into oblivion, cut the support lip or relocate the pins on the bottom of the radiator just to get it in. That would make it not a drop in radiator.

i didnt have to do any of that and mine fits fine, however it seems i was lucky and i would not recommend purchasing it based on my testimony as everyone else has had issues with it.
