some 84-85 even came with or got replaced with a 1 row, 3 row is better than one, and has the brackets to hang the oil cooler, Ive heard about the REPU radiator being a 4row, but I havent seen one and are not very common or for that matter easy to come by so I cant be for sure. If they are 4 row I would love to have one swapped into my engine bay.

pay close attention to this point. it is VERY important!

I couldnt find one either so I bought a Goodyear cut to fit hose from Autozone, the ones that look ribbed. They are very sturdy, just watch the curve, it doesnt like 90degree angles.

The 84-85 is Two Row Radiator, but it is over 1/3 Taller.
The 79-83 is a Three Row, but it is 1/3 shorter.
They are both fine. I am currently using the stock 85 radiator
You get the lower hose from MAZDA. It's cheap.
----------------------------------
My car runs at 180 degrees, in the hot sun, leaving it idling with the A/C on full.
When cruising, it's about 170 degrees.
This is my new fan:

It's really quiet too!
