Keeping my original radiator but want to replace with a stock appearing that is great quality and will provide the best cooling capacity. My car is a non A/C four speed. Thank in advance.
I purchased a reproduction radiator from US Radiator in California, and am happy with it.
I was sold on this company after watching below video.

I bought one years ago for the '67 GT350 4-spd I had, sorry don't remember the model # but I think it was from CJ Pony Parts. I got a 4-core (it was the same dimensions as the 3-core and only a little more money so why not) I didn't want aluminum as I wanted it to be black - not stand out. It fit very well, used the "stock" hoses, fan shroud and the side block-off plates still fit, only issue was I had to use and shorter aftermarket fan spacer as the stock one put the fan too close to the back of the radiator.
Never had an overheating issue.
Just looked, they don't show a 4-core, this might be the 3-core...

Whatever you get, double check it has a metal not plastic drain petcock. Other than not looking stock, the plastic ones eventually leak uncontrollably.
And, even if you do purchase an aluminum radiator, paint it black! I think to many are sold on the idea that having bright aluminum tanks glaring under the hood is cool (pun intended), or perhaps announces money spent, or something? ::)

Thanks for all the great responses, that helps me make a better decision.
