So, I priced a re-core this week. Only two places near me (within an hours drive) will do it. Both are north of $600+, both places have at least a two month backlog of work and both only offer a 1 year warrantee. I think I am going to get it done, but cost wise is it not doable right now. I need a reasonably priced replacement sooner than later (the beast is marking my garage floor in a big way now and I don't want to chance driving her).
To that end, I have found several reasonably priced aluminum options on eBay, all with lifetime warrantees. However, I want to make sure they are plug and play. So, does anyone know what size the fittings are called out for our oil and transmission cooler connections to the radiator? I want to ask BEFORE I make a purchase. I also know I'll need to buy some extra rubber insulators for the top and bottom to make sure she sits securely in place. Hoses are also on the agenda.
Also, if anyone has any, other than Ebay suggestions for a radiator, please let me know.
