Radiator dilema

I currently have a daily driver 63 with a 350 sbc (manual) with a leaky radiator. I plan on doing an LS swap with an automatic transmission 6 months to a year from now. Don't feel really confident driving it to a shop (which are in short supply) and taking the radiator out, taking it to a shop and putting it back in seems like I might as well replace it.

Should I?
A. Buy an Ls Radiator (both hoses on the right) to soften the swap cost and make it work on the 350 sbc for now.

B. Buy a cheap radiator that works with the 350 sbc and worry about the swap later.

Re: Radiator dilema

I have a Champion Rad and an American eagle both would work with the SBC as well as LS. I’m running one on my Lsx 4.8 as well as my LT1 l83.
