    i had my 18rc rad recored...was like 40 bucks and came back looking brand new. might be worth it rather then swapping it out. Your rad is copper while the new ones are junk aluminum and plastic if that.

    i put it newer v6 radiator in my 78 but it sticks down a little farther then it should and if your doing daily driving it would work but i welded a reciever tube to the front to hit the pavement first instead of the radiator
