But Blu, the last time I went to a rad shop, a stock replacement was far more expensive but essentially identical to the part store rad. Once I started asking about anything like heavy duty cooling the price jumped even more.
That price point forced me to buy the Duff 4 core rad I still have today. Its lasted about 24 years so far.
But I see the logic in checking with your local rad shop. I did and here in O'Town the price pushed me to Duffs.
Much fewer rad shops here now....but its been a quarter century...and things change...
I also see the logic in the Explorer Radiator. Somehow that dinky thing keeps our eb's cool and you can often get them at your local parts store for $120 bucks.
I even see the logic in the $150 dollar Champion. A relatively cheap experiment that has worked well for some.
I struggle with the logic of the Vendors Ron Davis, Be Cool, Etc...radiators that often push the $400 dollar mark. They look beautiful though,,,,
For that kind of money I'd get a copper/brass triple pass....
Anyways
Off my radiator soap box...lol
