I bought one for my 68 new. Its a 3 core and I "think" it was a modine. Has metal tanks and I believed it was about $100. It specifically fit
my 68 and was setup for an automatic.

Went fishing on EBAY. This one is $135 delivered. 4-core (not aluminum) new. What do you think?

EBAY Radiator auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7908572721&category=33602) I think the price is okay but I know the demensions on the 4 core are different than the 3 core and for sure you radiator top plate and saddles are different between the 3 and 4 core.
FWIW I have absolutely no cooling problem with a 3 core on my small block. Your link also states 3 cores are avaliable..might check that out too..
BYW ..you have mail smile.gif

Go to www.modine.com (http://www.modine.com) go to publications aftermarket and quick reference checklist for radiators and look up 1R365. Perhaps this is the same radiator (maybe not same manufacturer). Seems to me that a "core" number is used for a particular application(s) in the industry (my guess). I'd say the price is right if it fits. I have a Modine catalog downloaded from their site (no longer available through the site) that gives more info on each of their radiators.

My $0.02
