if you want an Al one, the Northern's are a pretty good price (they aren't show quality though) for STD ones I have had good luck with Performance Radators, good and cheap.

I got my 3core brass one from a place like 1-800-radiator. It was $100.00 + shipping and it cools my car great!

www.radiatorexpress.com worked great for me.

I put a 2 core in my non ac, non daily driven 82, with a $20 Taurus elec fan, and its cooled fine for 4 years.

The 3 core was $10 more, but I did not want the extra weight.

I got a 2 core factory replacement style radiator at O'Reilly's for like $117 after taxes and it's worked fine on my mostly stock LX 5.0 for about 9 months so far

my builder told me that pep boys had a nice 3 core that did the same job as some racing 3 cores sold on summit.

I agree with the guys. You didnt post where you live (or if you'd mind solely using a stand-alone trans cooler). Ergo, I'd also say to grab a stock replacement or a 3 core GDI or Modine and call it a day.

Good luck.
