how big is the radiator?, I can get a 12V water pump used on racing engines from the local speed shop, or the older Mercedes diesels from the 80's used a small 12V water pump to push water thru their cabin heater. The big thing is to pump the water thru at the right speed, to fast or to slow and it won't work the way it should. I could swing the $169.00 for the core but another $325.00 just for a rad, fan and pump is out of my range, I can pick up any size rad I want at the local scrap yard for $25.00.
I live in my own little world, but its OK they know me here.
Happy Trails, Wayne

Doesnt need to be that big. Look for a aircon radiator. Probably even cheaper
