Are there any Radiators that fit a 521?

After doing a reverse flush, the radiator still overheats so I took it into a radiator shop. They said the core is bad, and since the radiator isn't stock and it can be re-built for $300. Would a 510 or 620 radiator bolt right in? I heard I could use a Pontiac Fiero radiator but it would require adapters and hoses. Thank you for your help!

There is a 521 radiator in the bed of the 521 at the Sherwood Oregon Pick-n-Pull. Or at least it was there on October 10, 2012.

510 and 521 radiators are the same. Except the bolting on situation. Anyways I have put a 510 radiator on a 521, fit perfectly.

Would it be best to get a new radiator then?

$300 for a recore

$ 230 for a new aluminum

$120 ish for a used one delivered

230 is really good for a new radiator. I'm going to get the aluminum one on ebay. Thank you Eagle Adam for your help!

I bought one of the aluminum radiators off eBay to put in mine just a few months ago. I had to do a little tweaking and trimming to get it in just right. The top tank was touching the core support at the corners of the radiator. I took some vice grips and folded under the part of the core support that was touching. The bottom tank was touching as well so I had to trim a small amount of the core support with a grinder and a cutoff wheel. I had to cut the bottom center of the fan shroud off to keep the fan from hitting it because of the added thickness of the radiator. Probably an hour or less of fitting to get it right.
