Radiator Suggestions Please

Well, I finally got around to getting the radiator tested and of course it's bad. So, as long as I need to replace it, let's hear suggestions for what I should get and from where. Here's the situation:

S5 13B in 85GS
Camden 5" supercharger
Should fit in with no mods
Reasonably priced (<$250)

What do you think?

Thanks,
Rich

Jeez, why pay too much? Get a $109 rad from radiators.com, delivered within 3 days. I got 2 of them working right now. Just remember that stupid plastic screwin drain plug is worthless and impossible to reach. Add a $6 Prestone flushkit tee in the lower radiator hose for draining and easy flushing.

^ What he said.

If you were willing to spend a little more, I'd suggest a Howe Aluminum radiator. Close to $300 shipped (IIRC, it's been a while) but it's a SWEET piece, all aluminum, and HUGE. I think the one in a customer car is 3 or 4 inches thick.
