Source For Aluminum Radiator
Things keep getting better - looks like my radiator is going south.
Anybody have a source for aluminum radiators that don't cost an arm ans a leg? I went to the Griffin website but they don't list Datsun/Nissan and don't show prices.

check out Speedway Motors
They carry all kinds of inexpensive racing type parts and have aluminum radiators that will work for $149. I believe the Chevy radiators will work, but you will need to fabricate mounts for it.

Gary,
Thanks, I'll check them out. I may have to go with "stop leak" for a while because at the same time I change the radiator I plan to install electric fans and replace my timing chain. Its not leaking too badly now but it can only get worse.

I've got to do all that stuff myself on both my Zs but time and funds are short for a while. If you have a local pick and pull junkyard you may be able to come up with an even cheaper solution. I thought about installing an aluminum radiator out of a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit that I found, but the plastic side tanks were cracked...doh!

No problem John!

Good luck!
