I had mine repaired/recored. It cost about $400
 
Is it an end tank leak?

www.tv4autos.com the new callaway forum.
It appears to be leaking in the tubes at the lower middle of the radiator.Believe it or not,there is no radiator shop in the town where I live, that is why I was interested in a new radiator.

My one Callaway has an aluminum one. The upper shroud had to be trimmed to fit though. Since the rest of the car is modified, it is not a big deal. Car runs much cooler than the brass/copper radiator that was stock

I guess my question now should be "is a Callaway radiator the same as a regular corvette radiator?" I looked on ebay and original gm 89 corvette radiators can be purchased for $130.00.,brand new.

No, a standard Corvette radiator was an aluminum core with plastic end tanks. I would be suspicious of the origin of those $130.00 radiators ;squint:
