Does it have the Harrison Tags still on it? I purchased a new 4 core radiator 4 years ago for my car that looks much like the original and didn't pay any where near that. It was around the $400 range, but my orginal was long gone.

Thanks for all the replies. I spoke with ss.396.com today and asked about the 68-71 BBC 4 row with auto and A/C. On sale til end of the month for $399 plus $40 shipping via UPS. Said it is copper and brass, same physical dimensions as GM OEM with 1 year warranty. Kinda' leaning in that direction, just have not pulled the trigger.

My original radiator has no tags but is stamped on one of the tanks is marked "HARRISON". Pretty sure it is original to the car but no actual proof. Car also has the BBC top plate with BBC fan shroud. Car currently has non-original 350 which I'm okay with hence the board ID. No proof but believe car originally had a BBC 402, just not sure how to be sure. Have never found a build sheet and car is pretty much tore down to the shell.

I got my DeWitt's for around $550 shipped. But, I wouldn't be afraid to have the original recorred if the shop is reputable and does good work.

My BIL had the original Harrison radiator for his 2nd owner '57 4 door Chevrolet station wagon re-cored by the same radiator shop. Looks great but as yet has not got his wagon running so can't really tell how well it will do. It does look as original from the General tho.
