What about a Modine 951? It is the stock replacement aluminum radiator for 1991 IROC Camaros with 350s and auto trans. It drops right in place and the only thing you have to do is slightly tweak the lower tranny line. They're around $140 at Autozone.

Ernie, is this the same size as the Elkys rad? $140 is not a bad price for a new aluminum radiator.

Yes. Same width and hose locations, but like I stated above the only thing you have to do is slightly tweak the lower tranny line. It's got plastic tanks and an aluminum core. You'll get better cooling, and it's 5 lbs lighter than the stock radiator.

It's a single core aluminum radiator. It is more efficient than the two and three core OEM replacements and it's lighter.
