Rock-Auto has some good options at a very reasonable price.

Or to preserve the original look, take yours to a local shop and have it re-cored. Probably cost around $400.

Hi,

First off you need to identify which radiator you are wanting to replace.

There were 2 basic sizes.... Super Cool has a core of about 26 x 24 inches and mounts to a unique radiator support. All others are 26 x 19 and mount to their specific radiator support.

I personally don't like aluminum core with plastic tanks so.... I went with a Champion radiator from ebay...... It's all aluminium.

Take care,
Lee

I'll add a vote for the Champion aluminum unit. I've had mine for six months or so, and it's doing the job quite well along with a Mark VIII fan.
