Re: looks like i need a radiator.

Do an online search and you will find suppliers for radiators that will sell you a radiator and you can pick it up from a local dealer for a low price. Or, they will ship it to you for the same price (saving sales tax, if it applies in your area). I got a 3 core Ready Rad brand two years ago this way - all copper and brass, no plastic or aluminum- for my 83 454. I think the radiator cost about $150 and I got $37 from the local scrap metal yard for the old radiator after I took off the steel parts. So far, no problems with the radiator and I live in the Arizona desert which is as bad as you can get for radiator life, especially with a big block and A/C.
