Original to the car, I had it rodded out and cleaned at a local radiator shop. Ran it with my car for 781 miles, then I pulled the flathead. New cap (4 lb). Never leaked. Has a Cheap radiator shop spray paint job on it. My car had the upgraded water pumps and this radiator and never ran hot. I am not sure how to ship this HEAVY item, but I'm sure it can be done. Id take some trades for 41 tudor sedan items. Will it fit earlier years?? I think it will, but i'm not positive
