Since I struck out on finding anyone who makes a replacement small block radiator for a 74 I bought a used one from the only place I could find one (with no warranty on the core), www.cbodies.com for $100.
Shot of the rear of the radiator.
Front picture.
Hit the spots I could with a wire wheel and a polycarbonate abrasive pad on the angle grinder.
Now sitting in a 1 inch bath of Metal Rescue. I'll probably let it sit like this for a day or so and change the position to try and soak more.
Whatever spots are left rusty I'll hit with either Metal Rescue gel or Krud Kutter rust removing gel.
Once it's cleaned up I'll spray can it with something to keep it in good shape while I try to find someone to recore it.
