If it's anything like over here, even the new cores are brought in from China...
Pays to check with your radiator shop/supplier, but yes, over here that is the case.
Now why wouldn't you start a parts wanted thread for your needs?
I wouldn’t waste my time with a used rad. It likely will not be much better than yours and will require a recore anyways. With a new engine why would you risk it.
Original parts mean something to me, So I have my rads recored. Last recore for a BB Satellite was about $350.00. Old shop still in biz, I am thinking of getting him to restore my stash of rads before he closes up and they build condos on his lot.
Nothing wrong with asking others in the hobby, not every mom & pop shop is on the internet. There's a wealth of knowledge among members on FCBO, just a matter of being helpful instead of being critical of those needing to be pointed in the right direction.
I'm not very internet savvy.. not as much as I am old school chrysler savvy
This car has been sitting under a tarp in the back of a shop since Oct 1999... 100% numbers matching... I would like to keep it that way is at all possible
If a local shop can't repair what you have Glen Ray Radiator in Wisconsin restores them. Especially for Mopar. Not cheap but you don't want cheap You want it done right. Give Bob a call.
I understand what you are trying to achieve. If your tanks are gone you will need another one to replace it. Hopefully you get a good used one but get it recorded anyways.
You don't need to be internet savvy to post an ad. It's no different than posting this thread only in a different forum.
