New Radiator on an Automatic?
My original radiator looks like a sprinkler system. So here are my options...
By a new one from Autozone... $229.99 (quality?)
Get core replaced at local radiator shop ... $275 (i'll shop some more here)
Universal BeCool radiator which has 2 1" rows that is $284 at Summit
The universal Griffin with 2 1" rows is $190 (price from another post)
Northern 9607 31 x 19 = Speedway pn 917347-31 @ $170 (price from another post)
I don't mind some fabrication or coersion. My question is regarding the fact that i CURRENTLY have an automatic transmission with AC. If i go with one of the above aluminums do i have to add an external cooler?
So...
Which radiator?
Which Cooler?
Where/How should i mount the cooler?

I had mine recored using a High-Efficiency core. higher fin count, and also bigger tubes inside. It cost me $225 but since I work in a shop, the radiator place charged me wholesale. I think $275 is probably retail ... but for that price, make sure you are getting a High-Efficiency core rather than OEM.

Why'd you pick the hayden? What size is it? Do you have A/C?
Anyone else use a cooler?
