    Talking with our local radiator shop they said the aluminum radiators are throw always, not worth their time to cut open and re weld.

    26x19x3. It's this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-1-25222-X

    The grill and my shroud mount to the top and bottom rails and will require fab work if the rails aren't in the same place and the same thickness front-to-back,

    The old one is leaking around here somewhere. I'm not going to bother pressure testing it though. I'm just glad the Jeep is running again:
