I see you're in BR. Call Radiators Inc, 924-6726. That's the only company besides Worldpac that I buy radiators from.

Performance Radiator, or 1-800-radiator. Both companies have websites, and I have no idea if they do business in your area.

i can find any radiator on ebay for $150 or less shipped... Pay attention though because some cars need tranny cooling lines and some dont... If u buy the wrong one thats your fault for not asking or reading the listing... Ive bought 4 or 5 with no problems...
