Bad Radiator.

I have a leak in the core of my radiator. Is there a good alternative that works instead of the $900 Ron Davis Racing radiator?

Tim, I have the Summit radiator that is around $180. I know some others have it also, and maybe they actually have a working vehicle they can give you some firsthand knowledge of how well it works.

Pretty sure this is it: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks. There was a post on this site that had the dimentions between the Ron Davis Racing (RH) radiator and the others. Where the hell is that?

I think the summit racing radiator is like 16 x 24

I have the Summit. You will need to do some fab work to get it to fit and the cap needs to be welded on and a access fill cap put on the driver side. No big deal. The part for the access filler cap is MOR-63730
