Default Time to replace the Radiator

I'm a tad stressed on making sure I get the radiator right.
The only shop nearby that carries one wants over $1000. So it's to the internet!

Jagbits has them used which I'm not overly excited about.

Partsgeek claims compatibility but their parts number is off and without pictures for comparison I'm hesitant.

Has anyone ordered theirs and has advice?

Just get a local shop that does radiators, they might just make you one cheaper and to the specs for your needs...

I punched a hole in mine with a screwdriver , I could not find a new one at a reasonable price , used ones are ??? , so I took it out of the car , and went to three different shops , one said he could have one made for about 350.00 the ( core ) But, he also told me about a shop that could fix mine , so that's where I went and he welded it and pressure checked it and it works great so far ,cost was 100.00 bucks , not bad , he also cleaned it very nicely , So you might try that , good luck , Satterfield

The cheapest I found was $550 or $650 I can remember it was a year or two ago. Many of the places wanted a whole lot more. I still have the original core and tanks in my garage only used the cooling tubes for the trans and power steering.
