E-bay score...arrived today!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
Brand new, looks great! And can't beat the price. I still want to do an aluminum one eventually, but this should do for now, or maybe indefinitely once I get my new electric fan setup in. I bucked the Spal trend and decided to go with a 16" Zirgo 'Beyond Cool' unit. I'll fabricate a shroud if necessary, but I'm not even sure I'll need one from what I've read. I have a hot old 427, but no air conditioning, so given that I don't live in west Texas I'm optimistic about staying below 220 with this setup. There's another one on there now I'm watching out of curiosity:

Wish me luck!

I hate to break this to you but you could have called directly to Mac's and got that rad for the starting bid of $150. I bought the same from them last fall. It's an excellent replacement and my local radiator shop told me their cost on the core to re-do my original was about the same price. They couldn't believe it!!
I found their service folks to be top notch!!!

I was looking at at least $250 for a re-core locally, so this sounded pretty good. Oh well, it's still a decent price.

You did still get an excellent price. You'll be happy. The girl I talked to said that they bought out the old stock from a GM parts distributor. I guess when these are gone, they're gone. A super deal while it lasts. It's a Delco replacement, not the original Harrison but it beats a lot of aftermarket one size fits all's.
