I picked one up from Radiator Barn myself.

No real complaints, but it's not a perfect fit and is much harder to bleed the air out of then any other radiator I have seen. It lacks the "bleeder plug" in the neck, which makes air a nightmare to fully remove.

if you gonna spend 270+ for an autozone one you might as well get a good aftermarket one
