    Do you have a radiator at all? If so, see if you can find a repair shop to recondition it. I am not aware of any direct replacements, as car and truck radiators all have the filler neck that would need to be removed. (I am assuming that you have a factory V8 van and need the crossflow radiator)

      Hey woody. How you doing Greg? I’m in the stages of looking for an aluminum alternative to the crossflow 2nd gen radiator and was searching our VCVC site for “radiator dimensions” even though I can just go outside and measure. Ha ha. I wanted to see what conversations and radiators were being talked about and saw a post where a member found a 92 Corvette radiator to be identical dimensions and no radiator neck like our crossflows. I May consider going this route myself. Almost sounds like a direct replacement except it’s aluminum. I’ll put the link below: https://www.vcvc.org/forum/in-the-do...tor#post404892

            Thank you everyone for all the help. I do have the original and I am going to look into getting it repaired.

              I had an all aluminum radiator built by Howe Racing. Just sent pics and measurements and had it in a week. It was 384 bucks.

                That seems like a good price.
                I had my original V8 rad re-cored about 3 years ago and I think I paid at least 250. a lot of that I'm sure had to do with the cost of brass(copper?)
