Radiator recommendation for 71 Olds 455 4 core
I have not had a need to get a new radiator for almost 10 years. What is a good brand of radiators to purchase now a day? Any recommendation on where to order it from?
I am looking for a new 4-Core radiator for a 1971 Olds 442 with AC. Also, there appear to be a lot of outfits selling radiators for 1970 Chevelles. Is a Chevelle radiator an exact drop in replacement?
I prefer a stock look. The one I have is not repairable and the tanks are badly dented.
Thanks

Why 4 core ??
Brass will stay true to original, but everything I've read says Aluminum cools better.
For a budget radiator
Ready Radiator from Advanced Auto or Spectra from the others.
You can use an online 20% off coupon @ Advanced, so I prefer them.
Brass 4 core
Aluminum single core
For a better option

I bought one from Carquest a couple years ago. They are a little universal, that it does fit a Chevelle also. Chevelle hooks up one of the heater hoses to the radiator, so they send a plug for it if you don't use it.

Original Harrison radiator "look" (reproduction) and made in the USA, but pricey though.
