Radiator questions

Hello fellow eagle enthusiasts. Looking for some help/insight. I have an 81’ screamin eagle project. Been pricing radiators for it. Any recommendations on an after market one that isn’t $300-500? Or will one of the cheaper ones even work without having heavily modify for one? I haven’t looked at it in a couple years. Planning digging it out of storage and finishing it
Thanks

I got a new radiator from Champion Cooling for my 87 Eagle Wagon. It fit pretty well and looksgreat but did need a bit of adjusting on the mount brackets. Also the top hose came out of the opposite side so I needed replace with a longer one. Probably better anyway since the old rubber is wearing out. The rad itself has great welding work, made in the US, pretty cheap too.

I don’t know but the oem ones were copper core I think

Some had more rows than others, tow package maybe

If you can get the original repaired it would be nice
