I need replacement radiator - help!

I need replacement radiator - help! - 09/02/09 12:03 AM

My 71 bee, 383-auto, no A/C, 22-inch radiator needs a new one.

Local "recore" is $350.

If I want to buy a "replacement" that looks like original but not NOS, where do I go and how much will it cost?

If it isn't going to be "NOS" or the original one it has now, and it's $350 or greater for a replacement, why not go $550 for aluminum?

And if I go aluminum, who makes the best "direct bolt-in-swap-out" one?

Thanks! You guys always deliver!!!

I would absalutely have it recored. Keep it original to the car and it will cool just fine with a new modern core.
