If you have the four holes around the zif I would say get a Swiftech MCW462-UHT.
The Danger Den Maze3-1 seems like a pretty decent setup.
From what I hear Swifttech is a class act and provides all the insulating supplies you need to do the whole job. (But check this out for yourself, because I'm not sure what comes with the Swifttech setup.)
According to BillA's testing you would probably be much better off with the MCW462-UT rather than the MCW462-UHT.

according to sidewinder swiftech discontinued the UT now you can only get the UHT....interesting but i but you could find the UT somwhere else

Also with the Swiftech do you still have to sillicone the socket or is that neoprene enough? Also why don't they give you a neoprene patch to put in center of socket. They say nothing about protecting the center of the socket in their instructions.

With mine I just used the gasket and put dieletric grease between the gasket and the zif. Inside the socket I used liquid eletrical tape( I put it up around the zif a little too) and used it on the back of the socket as well. Your best bet would be to get the MCW462-UHT cause you can use 1/2" ID tubing. Also to power the pelt I would get the MeanWell PSU. With those two and a 86 Chevette heater core I get a idle temp of 11C, load temp of 15C and thats with a room temp of 80F. I can go lower if I open the window with doing that I have hit an idle temp of 6C and a load temp of 10C.
