Default Where to get new radiator?

This is the radiator with the push-on / clamp secured transmission cooling lines, not screw-type fittings.

Does anyone know who might have one in stock here in the USA?

Forget it, having it re-cored locally.

Thanks.

Hi Lou (glad that artilce was of use)...

If you don't mind, what did you pay for the re-core? My '91 radiator is out now (doing a pretty comprehensive re-build) and haven't taken it to a local shop yet.

Got a price of $200 for a "rebuilt" OEM radiator (plus core), don't know if that is rodded or re-cored. I don't know that I want to go for the all-aluminum "plug-and-play" from Faster Jags (mine has the "screw-type" Trans Oil Cooler lines).

Ron, the re-core and full re-solder of the trans line fittings etc. was $400 here in the land of fruits and nuts, California.

They have passed so many stupid laws here banning everything used in automotive work, that I thought it was a miracle to find someone here that was still in business.

By the way, thanks again for that scientific paper, I now know my gauge is reading false hot for sure because when you apply 50 ohms to the lead, it reads halfway between N and H when it's supposed to be splitting the N.
