Yes the Escort core is still plenty good. It is a rather large core in fact. Got one sitting right here. it is bigger than the popular Chevette core and most of the one's being sold as PC WC rads. hardest part will be trying to fit it in a case. Mine will not fit in my SX830.
Well fittings should be whatever you want to use. I am not a fan of push fitting but they are fine. I still like the good ol hose barb and clamp. User preference though.
I would suggest not getting the Una block as it is all bare aluminum. Not a good thing with a brass rad. In fact Joe should remove that article just for that reason. Also the Rio pump is not good enough.
Also note a $12 air cooler will cool about as good as that setup. The first paragraph is not at all accurate anymore.
The article should be removed or updated IMO.
