I don’t know of any. Most of us have converted to aluminum radiators. I use a universal three row Griffin in the T-Bird a Fluidyne large two row in the Coupe.
NPD has both 2 and 3 row copper radiators in Manual/Automatic versions: https://www.npdlink.com/1979-1993-m...g/radiator-cooling-system/radiators?year=1992
Not cheap, however I had a different radiator recored a couple years ago and that was around the same price, so probably easiest to just get the new one.
Thanks. There is a warehouse not far from me. I am going to pick one up. Its a lot more than a rod-out, but not sure how much the old one will last with that.
These are made in the US. so that's good too
I'm still holding onto my 30 year old GDI Pep Boys brass 3-core radiator for this reason. Finding newer brass rads is hard to do or very expensive.
Summit has their classic line now for around $360, brass copper cross flow 2 core but haven't looked into who supplies them.

Do you consider the factory style brass better than the aluminum? I ask because my original 48 year old one in my car is getting that greenish look in one area even though I see no leak.
Honestly, I understand the argument about dissimilar metals in the cooling system but... Modern coolant takes care of a lot of that.
I'm running an aluminum 3-core at moment and have been for many years. I've got no issues. If I were to replace it though, I do like the factory look.
Will these new copper/brass units cool my combo better than the aluminum? Probably not. Both are up to the job.
