There are some others around, also for an escort that are ali but for about £250 which is still quite a lot but as most people seem to experience cooling problems with the small rad on a big engine, it may be worth spending more money on product intended for rally/racing. They also seem to come pre threaded for fan sensors and with the fan mountings designed in.

That looks the business but not sure how thick it is?
I imagine with the M50 engine you may be a bit tight on space for such a thick radiator and the fan is raised off the core, adding a bit more thickness. My advice would be to wait until you've got your engine installed and then have a measure up. Also, the top corners are a bit more squared off so you may have to mount it a bit lower.
(P.S. not sure what those prices of the toyosports are on eBay?? )
