Alumnium Radiator WITH Drain Petcock???
Anyone know where to find a nice radiator with a drain petcock?
Looking for around 31x19x2 3/4.
Found some of the universal ones from Summit, Griffin, etc but nothing comes with a damn drain plug for under a couple hundred bucks.
Unless I'm missing it...

Re: Alumnium Radiator WITH Drain Petcock???
After doing my reserach and weighing my options I went with JEGS part no. 555-59002 (or something like that). I looked at many 31x19's in this $180ish price range and this was the only one that had a drain petcock.
This one has two rows of 1" tubes and is 31x19 overall. Without spending close to $300 you can't get 1 1/4" tubes like the bad mo fo I had before. I don't have a fan shroud and am very curious to see if I will have enough to cool this motor...I'm thinking not but couldn't justify big bucks on a car I am unsure runs correctly.
There is a 3 row (Champion maybe) off eBay for $225-$245 but I didn't do enough research to see how the smaller 3 row cores would cool versus larger 2 row cores in a street car, especially since it was over $50 more.
