I've got a 1983 W150 318-2V, auto w A/C. Flattened a cam lobe in the poor thing and pulled the heads and did the top end while I had it down. Noticed some weeping around the radiator water boxes, so I took it to my local radiator shop. Just got a call saying the core is bad and will need re-coring to the tune of $700. The only options I can find are plastic/aluminum (and only single core at that).

I'm not a Mopar guy by any means, so I'm just getting into the whole Pentastar thing (I've always done Japanese imports and Jeeps) so I don't really know where to find anything. Seems like these vehicles are difficult in the best of times, but I've gotten a lot of good info from here about engine tuning, so I'm hoping to get something for this as well as this seems to be the most knowledgeable technical Mopar based forum. Ramcharger.com seems like its pretty much dead.
