As long as the tanks are ok you can have it recored. Radiator cores are ordered by dimensions and whether vertical- or cross-flow. If you go that way have the radiator shop order a core with the most fins per inch available. It will be much more efficient at heat transfer.

I've had a couple recored some time ago and used in both an '82 with a 350 and in a '63 with a VERY modified Stude--no problems. If it turns out that your tanks are bad, as well, there are any number of others that will fit okay. I've gone to an AFCO aluminum in my '63.

Recoring brass radiators has gotten so pricey I think I'd also go with a new aluminum radiator if I needed one.
