Thanks for the input guys. I did bring the radiator into a local shop that does a lot of work on these old radiators and I was quoted $850 to repair it. The core needed to be replaced and one of the tanks is bad. For that price a guy could buy a new Walker.

I plan on keeping the original 4 banger in the car but the motor is tired and I hope to rebuild it someday. For now my fiance and I putt around town in the car and we don't go on long trips with it.

We are getting married this spring and I was trying to save a little money by not having to purchase a $800 radiator and maybe get by with the one I found on ebay so we can still putt around in the car this summer. I've also been looking for a decent original used B radiator but no such luck yet. If anybody has one or knows of anybody who has one to sell please pm me.

Just looking for suggestions and opinions. Thanks for the input!
