Hi everybody,
I've been working odd jobs like crazy to make ends meet and finally
got a breather. Glad to see you picked up a new job Davis! Sorry
about your back Doc. That really sucks!!! I did that a few years ago.
Eddie is getting older??? No Way :-)) I'm 48 with my hairline
receding down to my you know where, but still kicking like a mule...

I pulled the radiator out of my Spirit and it is shot. The local
radiator shop said they can sell me an aluminum one that is
comparable in size to the old stock one(so it can be installed). I
have the auto tranny so the radiator has the bottom tranny cooler,
which makes it spendy. They quoted me $450.

Another option they offered is to by a "Hot Rod" radiator without the
tranny cooler and then purchase a separate tranny cooler to mount
somehow in front of the radiator. I don't know if that would be a
good idea with the 727/401 combo I have in the car. Price would be
$250 and then the price of a cooler.

I want to get my Spirit on the road this year and probably won't
rebuild the 401 or tranny just yet due to $. I still have to get a
new carb and then go through the suspension and brake systems. New
tires too.

What option should I use for the radiator? Does anyone know of a
cheaper but better solution?
