Custom radiator

For all you guys that cut your core support and replaced your radiator with aftermarket. What deminsions are your radiators? Just been doing a little ebay surfing and came up with these:

Do you think any of these will sit flush with the core support height when sat straight up? I already cut my support, just want to find the best fit radiator I can.

Do a search for my username and "AFCO radiator". I've posted the part number I've used many times.

Thank you. That radiator looks like it will work very well with my setup. Going through you old posts, it's hard to tell but did you have to cut the lower support to make it fit? Or should it fit just fine with the upper cut?

I run a similar radiator to the last one - from Universal. Iron block 408. Last year with a smaller radiator I had over heating problems. This year with the Universal, double core, and a 3000cfm Spal fan (from Universal) it maintains 160-165 degrees. Very seldom does the fans come on - even when its 90+degrees out and getting caught in the staging lanes. I've attached a picture of how we laid the radiator down to accommodate the turbos.
