a slant at a salvage yard might cost you $100. but that would become a mini project, probably would want to put fresh head gaskets etc.

what other problems have you been experiencing?
~ wiring - freshen up connections, do the mad electrical website amp meter bypass
~ fuel - after 40 years tanks get sediments and clog the lines pretty badly; replacements can be had for $150-$200 nowadays. it's worth it if you want a daily driver.
~ carburation - a simple rebuild kit, some carb cleaner (for spraying out small orificies) and an overnight soak after you get it torn down will do wonders.

~ cooling - dont use tap water at all, ever. use 50/50 premix antifreeze (the kind you dont add water to).
if you need to flush the system with a garden hose, be sure to fully drain all of the water out of the radiator after the engine is cooled. you will probably want to unhook the lower radiator hose to make sure.


good luck bro
