    Why ???

    A new radiator is around $450-$500
    A new/rebuilt motor is ???

    Shop around between radiator shops there is quite a large difference in prices
    If ya have the Plastic tank/alloy core radiator
    Replace it with a steel tank/copper core jobie
    They are even cheaper
    OR
    Maybe get your old radiator rodded out (about $100)

    Sorry dont know of a replacement from another make/model
    I personally wouldnt take the risk

    X2 for me - for the money, one of those things I figure you just spend on to protect the engine etc ... Just got an all alloy number put in mine - bit more expensive, buts runs cooler and gives me full peace of mind.

    Good luck with it either way mate.
