    I need to replace the radiator in my 74 CJ5 with a 304. I have checked on rockauto and found a spectra 3 core for about $180. Any other suggestions on where to look for a copper based 3 core new replacement? 4wd is way over that price range for all of their options.

    I have a RockAuto radiator in my CJ-6, and it's fine - no complaints. Replacement radiators today are mostly built in "offshore" factories, and are pretty much a commodity item.

    Looks like autozone has the spectre for 180.00. This is exactly what I was looking for and will order it through them. I guess since I am spending the money on a new radiator, I now need to pick up a bug shield so that I don't catch any rocks on the highway. Any suggestion on those would be appreciated.

    I got the Autozone unit for mine. Solid heavy metal radiator.
