Eric, to answer some of your questions, as to a radiator there is only one real answer. Go to Dewitt's for this. Great company to deal with and a top quality product. I have one in my 69 and 62. As far as other parts, I have found Ecklers to be the most expensive. I deal primarily with Dr. Rebuild, Paragon (also deal with Porsches) and Zip.
A little off topic but last year I was all set to buy a 50,000 mile 57 Porsche 356A Speedster from the original owner who is a long time friend of mine. He ended up having the car restored, but will probably end up buying it someday. Welcome to the forum and would love to see some pics of the project.
Oh and on your transmission, the original will have the partial VIN stamped on it. I believe there were a few M22 equipped non-L88 69's.

Welcome to the forum Eric! Glad you decided to stay around. Don't let ignorance run you off. There's a lot of that in this world. Ignore the children and press on. Congrats on your find.
