I had my early radiator re-cored six months ago--got the densest
fins/heaviest duty core I could fit on the header tanks. Not the OEM
pattern core, though. Cost about $265 USD. I probably could have done
better shopping around--I live in a small town, not really that
competitive.
When I told the shop what the new Moss core cost, they laughed. Their
response was "you get what you pay for" , which is probably true. The last
"bargain radiator" I bought from a parts store (for a '70 Ford Maverick I
was driving in college) developed cracked tubes within a year--cheap,
brittle brass.
So far, the new one runs at proper temp all the time. I'm waiting for a
really hot day to take it up into the hills and give it a real test.
