Building a "beater" B and am wondering what is the best source for a new all aluminum 22" radiator that won't cost me an arm and a leg with a correct type top tank.

Anyone have a source that is reasonable?

No idea, I doubt you'll find and "economical" alumnium tank w/ the correct top. I bought a 26" alumn unit off of the bay new w/ trans line hook-ups for under $200 shipped, but it doesn't have the correct top. You might just want to have yours re-cored.

I agree...If you can get over the stock tank issue...hard to beat the Summit brand ones...I've used a few of them and they are great

I don't have the original, but after checking out a few cross flow's, I may go that route. The look pretty clean once installed and the price is right!

I was at a radiator shop some time ago, and talked to the owner about aluminum radiators. He showed me a pic of one in a Dart. Aparantly it was a Ford truck (?) application. I used a oem ford van (1990) radiator in a 77 Charger once.


I used to care but....... things have changed

I was checking these out awhile back and I agree with the other posts--you wont find a 'cheap' aluminum downflow rad (with a correct looking tank). Griffin makes one for about $500 thats real nice though.
