New radiator advice for a 240z with N42 L28 swap.

Need a new radiator and am on a tight budget.

Here is what I am thinking right now:

a.) This $164 2 Row guy from ebay that has 2 10" electric fans:

b.) This $236 CSF 3 Row one from amazon:

c.) This $228 2 Row with a lifetime warranty by Mishimoto from amazon:

Currently, there is a fan-clutch unit installed, but the blades are missing so if I want to stay with the mechanical fan setup, I will also need a new set of blades like maybe this or something:
Allstar ALL30100 18" Diameter 5/8" Pilot Hole Steel Mechanical Type Radiator Fan with 6-Blade : Amazon.com : Automotive Allstar ALL30100 18" Diameter 5/8" Pilot Hole Steel Mechanical Type Radiator Fan with 6-Blade : Amazon.com : Automotive


Seems to me like the electric fans would add more cooling and give back a bit of horsepower.

Any thoughts?


Here's a photobucket for anyone interested:

I'm open to any and all advice.

The L6 runs cold even in the summer.Those cheap radiator/fans are junk. The pilot on the Z water pump is 1 3/4.
