I got a Spectra aluminum/plastic radiator from AutoZone a several years ago for about $100 with a 20% off sale and free shipping. Modern aftermarket copper/brass radiators are ridiculously expensive now and they don't hold up as well as the old OEM radiators. My Spectra radiator is only 2 core but thicker than normal 2 cores. It has no problem cooling my 454 in 115 degree desert heat. It was the one listed by Spectra for a big block Chevy truck.
