I've seen the specific aftermarket aluminum radiators by Wizard that cost well over $400. Probably not out of line, price wise, for a low-volume product.
However, most radiators out there often have a common core size, tank configuration, and outlet location. So, rather than reinventing the wheel, I was wondering if anyone knew what applications have similar dimension radiators for a more common application that might mean more choice and lower prices.
My tape measure says the core on my '53 C/K is 15" tall and about 24" wide (going by memory as I'm not near my car right now). 15x22 is a relatively common GM size in crossflow (which are generally more efficient - all else being equal) and you can find aluminum ones under $150 with outlets in the appropriate place.
Has anyone successfully used/adapted one of these (or any other) and recall the original application?
