So now that my SIV Alpine is up and running I now turn to reliability questions and first and foremost in my mind is the issue of cooling as it it sunny and hot here in California and my son is dying for an extended drive in the car.
So far my search has opnly turned up the option of recoring the original radiator which seemed like a good option till I recently priced it out and it was "starting at $500". I looked around for an aluminum option but there were none to be found for an Alpine but two or three for a tiger.
So my question is: did I miss another option? Any good finds where a stock junkyard option was modified to fit? Any Summit Racing/JC Whitney radiators modded to fit? If I chose an Aluminum radiator for a Tiger, fitment should be no issue, but what about hose location (ignoring that I will need a dedicated fill/overflow tank).
Any ideas to save the day would be much appreciated! Thanks!

PS. I allready have the pusher electrical fan and a few articules printed up on fixing air flow issues....
