My radiator is original and looks terrible inside. I was wondering if I should remove it and have it cleaned or just buy a new one. Money IS an option so which would be cheaper? Is there a way to have it professionally cleaned and tested? Thanks in advance. :seeya

If your gonna keep the Vette for yrs to come, just replace it if it looks that bad.

I would pull it out and have it rodded. If it isn't sound the radiator shop will tell you. My .02 cents. :cheers: :seeya

I just pulled mine out of my 79 :smash: It looked ok..but had it checked anyway and found out it was shot :( Radiator shop got me a new one for 216$ not bad..peace of mind and along with that new water pump and hoses.

Either way it has to come out. Take it to a good radiator shop and let them advise if it cam be boiled and redded out and pressure checked and repaired if needed. If it can and is a 4 core, then you will be ahead.

Thanks to all, I guess I'll pull it ouit and get a new one. I can get a new one from Auto Zone for around $200.00. Thanks again. :thumbs:
