Radiator needed ASAP!

I was wrapping up my next 4.44 swap on michael blues car today and as I was checking the fluids preparing to fire it up and test it all out I noticed the coolant was low. It took about 2 quarts of coolant and once I got it full I found the dreaded radiator tank crack across the top of the radiator. I think it happened when he took me for a test drive when picking up the car as I noticed a small amount of coolant on my trailer but none on the shop floor. Can anybody help out with a radiator for a good price quickly?

Thanks for posting this.

Any help greatly appreciated guys.

At this point, my budget is blown and if anything else is found wrong with the car while he's got it I'm going to be forced to re-evaluate my situation.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do the Epoxy putty repair on it. Most everyone who has done it has had it last for awhile, at least long enough to round up some $$ for a new one.

Make sure it's very clean, and scuff it up with some sandpaper and it should get you by..

It's SVX Parts Central, Get it right. I may just do the epoxy for now. Any recommendations on a brand or type for a long hold?

Patch

Fiberglass will help it last. Work the epoxy into the mesh. Good Luck.

spend $40 on a plastic welder.... lay a couple beads of the white material over it properly and you are all set
