Default Radiator Replacement

Anybody know where i can find a replacement radiator? the upper neck blew itself off a couple weeks ago. Napa and O'reilly's cant order me a radiator and GM wants way to much. What are your suggestions?

DON'T SPEND THAT MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I got mine for 250 or so to my door and it's a factory replacement. So if you're ok with that then go here and call them. I found them on ebay and it was fast and easy to install.

I got mine for $210, don't spend $400-500 on a stock radiator!!!! for that money I would find a Griffin Radiator or something.

There are a couple of Custom aftermarket options for around $500 from Non sponsors.
Check out ls1gto.com to find them.

If you're any good at fabricating, I can suggest a universal Griffen radiator from summit for around $190. Its way more efficient than stock but you'll need to custom fit it into your car. I did this for mine and it worked out well. If you have access to an aluminum TIG welder, even better. You can easily make it fit into the stock location.

Alright so from what i've been hearing i would be wasting my money by installing a stock replacement due to the plastic notoriously splitting. Whats a good Aluminum replacement for a decent price.
