radiator replacement

Cruising with the Ranch Wagon the other day. Running warm when I noticed getting warmer. As I hit the driveway, gauge was at 3/4 and climbing. The upper tank had a crack in it. I bought an aluminum eBay radiator.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-ROWS-1957-1959-Ford-Fairlane-Ranchero-Skyliner-Victoria-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR-/191261293354?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1957%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item2c880fbb2a&vxp=mtr

Quick shipping. Bolted in with correct hose size and placement including transmission cooler lines and a radiator cap. Temp gauge barely hits 1/4. This radiator is a thicker, three core so it is a little closer to the fan blade. For a driver, I'm pleased.

Is that with a Y-block engine?

Never mind, I see it's for a Y.

I thought about buying one but after looking I had second thoughts about a Chinese radiator, good luck hope it works out well for you..
