Default Radiator

I rebuilt my engine for my 79 and was checking stuff out
before dropping it in...I discovered that my radiator has
a somewhat steady leak out of the core about where it
connects to the passengerside tank.

Several of the fins are bent, and all of the water in it comes
out rusty dispite the fact that this radiator was serviced
(rodded out and hot tanked) at a radiator shop less than
a month ago.

Should I just replace the sucker with a new one, I'd need
one with the hookups to cool tranny fluid (I have an auto).

speedyradiator.com has an OEM four-row radiator for 180 bucks
with free overnight shipping. Has anybody had any experience with
them?

I just want out cheaply with something that will adequately cool a mildly
built 350. And will bolt right in.
