INSTALLING 73 RADIATOR Help

[tx73vette]

Would like to know what it takes yo remove the radiator and reinstall. Where is the best place to purchase a new radiator.
From local parts place like AutoZone, O'Rilies? I have found some on internet for around $239. But I dont know it it includes ports for tranny cooler. By the way its an automatic tranny with air. 350 c.i.
Any help would be really appriciated.

You may want to consider recoring. I've read that it is cheaper and guarantees a stock fit.

Modine (USA) manufactures OE-type direct replacement copper & brass rad for your 73 w/350 & auto trans with AC. Modine number is 1R478. It has both trans cooler & a 4-row core. The ones on the internet for $239 are asian & will probably be fine ... for a while. Ask your local discount parts houses if they can supply Modine brand pn 1R478. Recoring is also a good solution.

If you want to keep the 'factory look', then do a recore.
