    I have a stock Harrison radiator collecting dust. It is in great shape; it cooled the car OK and has no bent fins or dents at all. From my 1970 Wildcat Convertible (SF 455). No AC car. From an automatic, so it has trans cooling.

    I hate to just discard it if anyone needs it.

    Shipping and packing from 78727 and it's yours. It's big, so it won't be cheap.

    I'll look on-line and see what it might be. BTW I edited my post, my 'Cat was non AC if that makes a difference in the radiator. It did have HD cooling though, with a full shroud and clutch and 7 blade fan.

    Frank do you know what $$ to ship to 34293 and will it fit the 73 LeSabre? It would be great mine is leaking like a screen door and hate to put a plastic one in.

    I really don't know if it will fit, but someone else will. One way to check is to go on any auto parts site and see what part numbers they list for each.

    Shipping to PA was 41.00 USPS and I'm guessing double boxing at a Pack n Ship will be about 20.00.

    No other parts; I replaced this radiator with aluminum years ago.

    Just hold off sending payment. If it's a lot more when I go to do it, I'll let you know in advance; but if it's less it can save a few bucks. PM your delivery address.

    why didnt you like the old rad? I replaced mine with champion aluminum also and it started leaking and still does. I hate that drippy thing. how does it compare to your aluminum one? 2, 3, or 4 rows/core?

    Down here on the face of the sun, I thought it didn't cool well enough. The new AL radiator didn't help. The car is long gone. Neither one leaked.

    Gary I have the Fan Shroud for a 70 Wildcat , Electra or Estate Wagon if you are looking for one.

    Online USPS says 41.00 shipping. I went to a pack n ship store yesterday, carried it inside and asked for an estimate. They said 60.00 shipping and 40.00 something for the packing...I declined. They have markups, sure...and I can schedule a shipment from my front door, do it all the time... but I need to find a box.

    mine is a 73 lesabre with no a/c, is it the same and do I even need it since I have no a/c? Id like to end up with a 7 blade clutch fan and use my existing fan shroud if possible. Do you know? Any reason that wouldnt work with the 7 blade fan?

    Gary, you need super duper cooling in Florida... 7 blade fan, truck fan clutch (search 1985 C3500) great radiator and good (in place) thermostat...I'd go 160*. Perfect timing too. You prolly know all that.
