I cant remember if the DFW area has a radiator dealer called "Performance radiator". I have bought 2 from them out here in AZ for $120 a piece and they were the thick factory heavy duty cooling ones for a 1992 L98 Z28.

When I had to replace mine I had to get to work the next day so I ended up buying one from Napa for 145 and I have had no problems with it. I have an auto as well. Its not a real high performance radiator but I have had no over heating or leaking problems.

I got mine at autozone, I called all the big parts stores and they were the only one with a 3 row radiator, thats what you want to get.

I have a "new" metal tank radiator that I had put into my car, f'ed up a tranny line fitting, and just put another rad in. I kept the rad, even got the fitting fixed, and been carting it around with me ever since - bottom line is that I've got a new rad ready to go. Here's the catch - another guy told me he wanted it, but hasn't come thru on it. If you're interested, let me know. I'm waiting for a response from him anyways, but I'll send it to you $50+shipping.
