750 ! .... That DOES SOUND like excellent customer service ... but at what cost A N D at what weight ? Is that a real heavy piece? I’ve had REALLY GOOD LUCK with the aluminum core with plastic tanks as of late If you knew how much of my backside I lost on a 69 Coronet R/T with a 22" radiator and a persistent heating problem, 7500.00 would have been reasonable. It's a long painful story with the epilogue being a GLEN RAY radiator. NUFF SAID!!!

Wow, guys that think $750 is a reasonable price? You must be the guys that are resigned to thinking that it has to cost $50,000 to restore a car. I could understand it if this was for a numbers correct, factory type restoration but for less than half, you can have an aluminum radiator that is lighter and cools just as good. Do you just open the wallet when you buy or do you ever look to get a better value for your money? Always funny to see a post from someone, especially from Phoenix, who doesn't know anything about cooling! Have you even tried to get a radiator recored locally these days? IF you can find someone to do it, the cost is right up there with Glen-Ray. As far as an aluminum radiator doing the job of a factory one, then I have some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona...

And I will add...when you find someone to recore it it will have stray solder lumps and crooked assembly, radiator cap sitting clocked wrong, then you will be treated like dogpile when you return it to be fixed. When the radiator shop hero sees your "hemi" part number it will cost you $700. The glen ray comes back perfect, every ding fixed, heavier core than original and they always cool better than anything I have ever used, aluminum is a joke at the same size. Worth the money.

Do you just open the wallet when you buy or do you ever look to get a better value for your money? Everything that's been said regarding the cooling and quality, PLUS, no it's not a numbers matching resto, BUT when I open the hood and see a factory Mopar radiator with the part number and Pentastar stamped, that's worth a lot to me as well. You may not care on your cars, but I care on mine. The install was quick and easy. The spectra I had in there fought me all the way. Trying to line up the mounting bolts (which should be simple really) was a huge PITA, and I finally had to leave one out, and use a cable tie because it was too far off to thread. I would have paid $1000. And I'm sending off my heater core next.
Facts are stubborn things.

It’s a little RUFF in here ... for us guys that don’t have bottomless budgets I talked with two places up in Michigan earlier ... their charges now are 350 to 400$ for a big B body 3 row rad. LET US LEAVE the debate here ... at this point .... Aren’t MOST ALL production FCA vehicles now equipped with aluminum core rads ?

Hmm, a used beater that needs parts replaced, who would have guessed?
I think you are correlating lack of routine maintenance with materials design issues. Nope, they both had broken plastic tanks connected to the aluminum core...

ALL production FCA vehicles and everyone else uses aluminum and plastic because IT IS CHEAPER! Just like electronics, digital is MUCH CHEAPER than analog, but analog is a better technology...
