Thanks, Fred. I am hearing $200-plus out here on Long Island, NY, but
then again, they haven't seen the radiator yet.
Could be the rust thing is what happened, as I have gone down the list
of cheap fixes, and rodding/recoring is where I'm at...
I can recall someone saying they had gone to a four-row, but wonder if
there is room for this with the existing top/bottom tanks?
