Just went thru this on my 460 F53 coach. Installed one of the eBay aluminum units. So far so good but haven't made a hard mountain pass pull with it yet.
The one you link to is a Chinese clone of the Ford original but all aluminum instead of copper & brass. You'll find it listed on eBay as well.
Your only choices are a custom built radiator $$$ or one of the eBay aluminum rads. Be very careful with some of the cheap replacements you find. They do not fit the F53 chassis, but are for the pickup trucks. Spectra does not make the correct replacement.
