Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy a new radiator??? Mine will be needing to be replaced for this winter, and I'm not even sure what to get or where to start to look besides Summit or Jegs. Any help would be great!

Please note that the car is not raced mostly just street driven with very few mods, mostly all bolt ons, nothing motor wise.

I believe Pep Boys sells a 3 row for our cars and it's pretty reasonable. If there isn't one near you, maybe shipping isn't too pricey.

I just paid $175 for a 3 row at the local radiator shop.

Not to kill thread, but are they still selling transmissions or is it a different company?

Consider an aluminum radiator if you want to shed a few pounds. The weight difference between the 4 row copper radiator I purchased from JBA is alot heavier than a two row aluminum radiator I've also got laying around.

you can pick up 2 row aluminum rads on ebay for 150ish alllll day long

My 3 core copper/brass (pepboys style) was 135 at oreillys, but a nice pimp looking aluminum radiator would be sweet

OK, now I'm confused alittle. What is better 2 core, 3 or 4?? For some reason I'm thinking it goes up in cooling with the numbers, but I could be wrong.

Yup.. you're right. The more rows, the more cooling power.

if you ask me....aluminum/brass, 2x1" cores or 3x1.5" cores....it doesn't matter, they all get the job done

though I should have bought an aluminum rad over my copper/brass, because they look cooler ;)

Have completely decided to go with an aluminum radiator, has anyone had any good luck with any particular place they ordered from??

Flyin Hawaiin--Have contacted PA Racing, just waiting for a reply back from them.

And ebay really doesn't have much for aluminum-stock yes but that's about it.
