The radiator cores we install have 1 extra row of tubes and a new style 
of fins. This combination will gain you about 25% more cooling 
capacity. We also change the neck of the radiator to use a 10 lb cap. 
This stops the water from overflowing when you shut the engine off.
The loss of water is caused by the water temperature going up after 
stopping the engine and exceeding the 7 lb cap

They use the original header tanks and side plates and we install a new 
core. The core looks similar to original just the fins do not go 
straight across  the zig zag between the tubes just like is on all 
modern cars today.

The radiator are $495.00 exchange
