I was pricing these aluminum radiators out a couple years ago after having my engine rebuilt and they were $400 - $600, this price seems too good to be true (or made in China). Here is the link to the listing on EBay:

Has anyone put one of these in? If so, do they work as expected? Thanks in advance.

All I can say is you get what you pay for. But for $114.00
it may be worth a shot.


to much of everything is just enough

I bought a radiator off ebay. from the seller PRO RADIATORS. It was 129.00 plus 30 for shipping. It looks great, even has a trans cooler. the only thing I am not wild about is the top edge isn't finished but radiator covers are cheap.
I know it's a little bit more but I can vouch that the radiator I have looks dang good 160 bux.

Just an update since the original post in case anyone wants to know how this turned out. I went ahead and bought one from the ebay seller. They are blowing them out on E-bay for $127 including shipping! Put it in a month ago and works great. Required some drilling to get the bolt holes lined up but once installed, it makes a difference. It is much lighter and the normally hot 400 engine is running about 10-15 degrees cooler overall. Incredible price considering these cost $400 - $600 a couple of years ago.

Ok, in response to an inquiry for photos, I have pasted a link below in photobucket. Here it is: http://s912.photobucket.com/albums/ac322/coastal69firebird/Aluminum%20Radiator/
Not sure how some are able to insert photos into their posts.
Thanks,
mark

PS - Not sure how many cores, sorry
