Default Radiator Problem...

So I finally found where my radiator is leaking from. There is a small crack in the filler neck of the radiator about 2 inches below the coolant level sensor. So every time I add coolant, it drains to where the crack is, causing the low coolant light to come on. My question is, is there any way to fix the crack in the plastic filler neck? Or do I have to buy a completely new radiator? Thanks.

A new end tank can be put on.

But if you try crazy **** like glue(of any sort) it will break fairly quickly.

i think JB weld would work, but if it was me, now would be my time to upgrade to the LT1 bigger radiator

Pardon my ignorance but what brand/product is the "bigger LT1 radiator" and where can you buy it?
