Re-coring/restoring radiators
 

I have an original curved neck radiator that I would like to get re-cored/restored. It's in pretty good shape except that the core is shot. My radiator guy retired! Any recommendations close to Philadelphia - Harrisburg area would be appreciated.

Razzi Radiator in Glenside. Does heater cores as well.

Finger's radiators up her in New Brunswick, New Jersey did a great job recoring the original radiator in my Grampa's 71 Lincoln. Around $400 and was done in a couple days. Old time shop that has been in business a long time.

Dying business. I am lucky enough to have a good one within a few blocks of my office. Fellow is carrying on his dad's business started in the 50's.

Pretty sure there is no one to take over when he retires.

Thanks!

A-Len here in Downers Grove is outstanding. https://alenauto.com/
He's done many for me over the years,as he cut his teeth on Radiators first & foremost,then recently expanded his business into Auto sales & Repair,as his location is Key.He's on a very busy street corner,that clients would leave their fixed cars on with FOR SALE signs in it & they would sell,so he took advantage of that.

Razzi did a great job, fair price, & fast turn around. Thanks EPL!

Also, looking at this original curved neck radiator versus a reproduction curved neck - there are a lot of differences. One that is really obvious is the length of the curved neck!

length of the curved neck probably does not matter once the hose is on.

Can you comment on pricing? I've been quoted $500-$800 for a chevelle 3 row with a core price "around $400". I know I paid $400 out the door from the same guy 10 years ago but double that sounds crazy high.

Inside radius of the original is bigger which drives the longer length

That is right in line with the current going rate. I pay those numbers and am very happy with the end results.

$470.00 complete. John is very knowledgeable - he will even re-core your original heater core. A true re-core using your original tanks.

Friend just had a local shop do the 4 core on his vette... 600 including removing the original top and bottom rails and soldering them to the core.

I suggest to remove the factory metal tags before you drop it off, I lightly bead blasted my 2, then painted and put them on myself. They may get lost.

Glad Razzi was able to help, Bergy. Good people.

I just had my 69 Chevelle 3 core recored and restored cost 490.00
