Sent my radiator into a radiator shop and was told it was not worth repairing. Replacing with a core would have been over $700.
He found a radiator for a Chevy or GMC bus that matched in dimensions. The radiator came from Northern Radiators in Pheonix with a Part Number 230540 at $600.
It doesn't come with oil or transmission coolers. The overflow port is shifted toward the engine at 45 degrees (see top view). Top plate for radiator frame inboard mounting arm will need to be cut off.
Cushioning bumpers do fit.

That sounds great. I don't use the radiator for Oil or Transmission cooling. I have an auxiliary cooler for each.
