Replacement 72 350 automatic radiator
I recently picked up a 72 that needs a radiator. It's a 350 auto car. AC car but I will not be hooking it up. I have looked over many web pages but am uncomfortable with the description of some posted on E-bay. Can some one please direct me in the right direction for a replacement. Does not need to be aluminum. I'm looking for a direct OEM or reproduction that is going to be hassle free. Just don't want to get some thing in that does not fit or that is poor quality. Here is a prime example.

Says compatible with a base trim 5.7 car but not base coupe 2 door 5.7. I am confused. Also, I guess I can also take out the AC condenser in front of the radiator with out affecting anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got my 73 radiator from Willcox. It was an exact fit without any problems.

I paid $280 (I think I had an online discount coupon) through Advance Auto Parts for an OEM replacement for my '75. Fit well, the only issue was the overflow fitting on the neck was a little smaller than the original. Cools great- I took it on the Metro Cruise here last summer (our version of Woodward) and it stayed cool even in the bumper to bumper traffic on a hot Saturday afternoon. My car is an L48 with aTH400.
