Default New radiator

Hello I just got a 91 camaro RS with a 5.0 V8. It needs a new radiator and was wondering whats a good one to get, I seen some on ebay that are 2rows, 3rows 4rows. Is there a difference between those or does it really not matter?

are you sure it's the radiator (namely you can see the visible leak) or are you troubleshooting an overheating issue?

if a leak, then go to rock auto, partsgeek and amazon, find radiators with total price incl shipping and then go to your local adv auto parts and they will come close to matching the price and you will keep the dollars local.

an OE radiator is fine, the air dam underneath is important

Well im just going off of what the seller told me. I just looked at it started it up to see if it starts ok and runs. But ill know more today when i get it home. Is there anything I need to look for to see if it actually is the radiator?

If you look at the radiator while the engine is running, and you feel the need to put on a raincoat, then you need a new one.
