Just got a new radiator from www.radiator.com and thought I'd pass along my opinion of them. I Ordered a 69 big block 4 row automatic radiator, the price was $159 + shipping. I ordered it over the phone so I could talk to a live person, he asked stuff the web site didn't cover so that seems to be the way to go. It got here the day they said it would and looks like a quality piece that seems to fit right. One thing though the prices they list on the web site vary quite a bit from year to year for what should be the same radiator so look at all our years for the lowest price, just my $.02

That's cool. You can also get the same radiator from AUTOZONE usually in stock (mine was). I paid 160 or 180 don't remember for sure.

weird the one for a 71 model with a 402 is only 134 plus shipping where the same one for a 72 is around 300.

how many fins per inch does the radiator have. i have seen some cheap ones with 6 or 7 and some with 10 or 12 makes a difference in quality . warranty?

Thats a good point 8mag made about the fin spacing, I never thought of that, just went out and measured em theirs aprox. 10 fins per inch. They say it has an unlimited lifetime warranty, what ever that means

I just got one and it was delivered within 20 hours of order.

I think it is pretty good quality.
