No brainer, contact Gene Culley (forum vendor) for an AC/Delco OEM radiator (low $200's). If the original gave you 150K service, how much can you argue with that.

I was caught 280 miles from home two years ago when the radiator in my 2001 Coupe started to leak. I was lucky enough to make it home, but I decided then and there that the factory installed plastic end tank design wasn't what I wanted on my Corvette! I purchased an all-aluminum, welded construction "direct fit" radiator from DeWitts and I couldn't be happier! Do a web search on DeWitts and check it out.

You could also check with the used parts vendor here on the forum.
