300$ is insane for a re-cored radiator. I don't remember the brand I
used in the yellow Hornet but it had a lifetime guarantee and I think
cost 245$. But that was 4 years ago. I will have to look in my files for
the exact price and manufactuer as I want to put a new radiator in the
new Hornet. I see a little seepage around the top of the tank. I just
found out what I paid and it was 243.56$ and was a Modine. I paid with a
credit card so I was charged tax. If I wold have paid cash it would have
been cheaper as I don't pay tax.

Davis as far as your Rad.goes how hard would it be to weld tabs on a 150$ Summit alum rad. like Simms has and i will eventually buy?300$ to repair a blackstone is waay too much for my bilfold and i know you were trying to keep things inexpensive on ths Gremlin buildup.and i'm really sorry for your rotten luck you've been haging and hope things change for the good .Also good luck with the AMC Team Gremster goin down the 1320 :)

You all know how my week started. Well I got laid off yesterday. It
will be another 2 weeks before I get back.
I got the Subaru in the garage yesterday. Today I got the left head
off. I will get the other one off by sunday night so I can take them
to the shop for testing.
Talked to the radiator guy. He said new cores fro my original
gremlin radiator would be over 300 with labor so he said he would
custom make me up one that will work good. Nice guy, seems like he
will treat me right. He said if what he makes doesn't work he will
keep at it. ( He thinks a 2 core will be fine)I am thinking atleast 3.
Found the correct waterpump today at parts america 41 bucks with
lifetime warrenty. I hope to have it back together in 3 weeks.
Going to the track tomorrow with the Amc Team. Hope it doesn't rain
and I hope we get some good #s. Pray for no leaks!
I will post results and hopfully some good pics!
