Just dumped entire contents of radiator from point a to point b, less than 10m drive. Need to replace and was looking at the WH Staggered 4 Core from Wild Horses. Any feedback on installation ease and product stability?

I bought a rad. fr. them this year..., I can say it's the best looking one I've ever bought.
Well packaged & "0" shipping damage.
These radiators are super simple to R&R. You won't need new mounts but check your rubber seats for damage.

I installed this radiator in my current project 77 Bronco. Installation was simple. I would recommend replacing your rubber mounts, as they tend to get kinda brittle and not too cushiony. I have in other Bronco projects had the original 3 core recored to a 4 core by my local radiator shop (using my top and bottom tanks), this works very well and may save you a few $$$. Just thought I'd mention it.
