Have you seen this? http://www.luvtruck.com/pdf/12606.pdf

The Howe number has changed, but I want to say it's a 22" x 19" unit. Correct me if I'm wrong folks...

Still haven't bought mine, I'd be interested in what you end up with. There is a seller on ebay with Griffin seconds that should fit this application also...

When possible a 3 core is better than a 2 core. Makes a bigger difference than an inch or two of increased dimensions.

Your going to need a 4 core for the V8. However, Griffen has an aluminum 2 core that is equivalent to a traditional 4 core.

From what i've read, they say all Aftermarket aluminum 2 core's are equivalent to a traditional 4 core. Go with the aluminum.
