Ebay has been pretty good because I have seen some turbo radiators go for less than $100. It is longer than the n/a radiators.

I'm pretty sure you can fit a 968 radiator in there, will probably even cool better. I honestly don't know if mine (from the swap) is in storage or not, but I'll check around tomorrow and let you know. If I have it, I'll send it to you, you just pay shipping.

...a while back...
???
Have you tried Partsheaven.com? Driving with a broken radiator is about the stupidest thing you can do, short of driving with no oil.

I bet 90 bucks will get you a radiator shipped to your door from Partsheaven (or any of the other dismantlers).

It's dented on the bottom, it's still functional, and the fans still operate, but the grille is like totally bent, and it's yellow too (thanks maaco!!)

Well if it's overheating I just don't understand why you've waited until now. Consistently driving a 944 (let alone turbo) while it overheats can do damage you don't want to have to even think about.

GET A RADIATOR.

hehe, I've put about 1.5k miles on it since the fender bender, I drive the 740 around town. Matt, if bloodraven doesn't want the radiator, can I buy it off you ?

Thanks.

Yeah! If a 968 radiator will fit, I will take it!

I've got a super nice radiator removed from my '86 951. It has a date code of '89 (the car was gonged in the snoot once). I removed this for a custom-made replacement for my V8 conversion. $100.00 + freight firm.
