I wound up using the Spectra CU-1485 from all the info I looked up. It only cost $85. This I’m my opinion is a great match for the car. It is thicker then the OE radiator. I used the original fans from the donor car. Using the original mounting points, I used slotted angle iron from each point top to bottom For each side which I got from a Home Depot.



Here is it complete...
