Default Aluminum radiator from ZIP - RA-230

Anyone have experience with this line? It is not marketed as 'direct-fit' but claimed to fit.

The original in my 70 L46 needs a re-core and I was quoted $760!!!

This is a Dewitts radiator and will serve you well. There are less expensive choices that many people have had success with. I spent the small bit more for Dewitts on my 68 big block. It was indeed a direct fit. Also Zip will stand behind their products, at least in my experience.

I got the RA-232 for my '75 350 4speed. Fit perfectly and haven't had any cooling issues since. Made in USA (I believe by DeWitt). I want to say the RA-341 wasn't available, so I just plugged the holes.
