Radiator Replacement

ALRIGHT...WELL AFTER POURING IN COOLANT EVERY 4 DAYS I DECIDED TO
CHECK IF THERE WAS A LEAK AND THERE WAS. I FOUND A LEAK 4" BELOW THE RADIATOR FILL NECK. MY QUESTION IS, IS IT AS EASY AS REMOVING THE HOSES, TAKING OUT THE RADIATOR, PUTTING THE NEW RADIATOR IN AND PLUGGING THE HOSES BACK IN ??? WHAT KIND OF RADIATOR WOULD YOU SUGGEST (MOST BANG FOR BUCK) ????..... I AM THINKING OF PURCHASING THIS RADIATOR ON THURSDAY (28TH OCTO) AND INSTALLING IT THAT WEEKEND.....
THANKS FOR THE INPUT.

Re: Radiator Replacement

Everyone who has done a cam swap has removed their radiator and hoses and put them back it. It's not that hard. I would also say go with a stocker.

Re: Radiator Replacement

Are There Any Other Fluid Lines That Run In This Radiator...i.e. Transmission Fluid? Or Is It Just Coolant?

Re: Radiator Replacement

6-speed or auto car? I took my radiator out in under an hour and could easily swap a radiator in under 2 hours start to finish, staying focused. Get another stocker, I had a crack in mine and got one off the board for $75 shipped a few months back.
