We sell both the Nissen and the Behr. Nissen is the way to go, you can find them both here.

well I replace my radiator today. That job sucked!! the stupid nut inserts striped of the frame. had to use vise grips to try to hold them so I can get the bolts off. I also remove my AC condenser since my AC don't work anyways. Next step FMIC.

It will fit. I think there is something with a mount that has to me modified.
An 18T would be awesome. I want that next but have to get a LSD so I can actually take off without spinning the tires.

Nice! lets see how 2010 treats me might squeeze that in between remodeling the house and a few other things. I bet that manual swap has been lots of fun for you !
