Help finding radiator

I have a 72 350 auto and can only find a radiator for a manual. I want a regular replacement. Can anybody help with finding a replacement? Thanks

DeWitt’s is all you need to know.
Direct fit, and the best quality available.

This one perhaps? Dewitts via Zip for $400-.

Don't overpay. Go to Jegs or Summit website and search aluminium rads for your vehicle. There will be quite a price difference. I went with a Cold Case direct fit. Quite happy with it.

Even if you are on a budget, I still think this is your best investment. I developed the brazing process when with DeWitts and nobody makes a better brazed core. Fin bond is very important for cooling performance and totally invisible to the naked eye. The fit is second to none with features like a hood hinge relief on the upper driver tank and the dent in the lower tube for stabilizer bar clearance. Maybe you don't care about the "made in USA" but you will appreciate the after sale support should anything go wrong. No hassle replacements and a lifetime warranty. Just image the amount of time involved if the imported radiator didn't fit or leaked. How much did you save then? Just saying....and I don't even work there anymore.

Sometimes mistaken for damage, this dent provides stabilizer bar clearance if necessary.

Depending on the amount of hood shims and body fit-up, this flat spot comes in real handy

There's a lot more to radiators then cost. If you've ever done one in an early C3, you'll know what pain they are. I have a Dewitts, and have never looked back. It was way easier to put in than the original..
