Question for anyone who has had their original Harrison radiator recored.

I have a generic replacement radiator in my 69 z28 with a 302.(has plugged trans connectors)

I picked up a used Harrison from a 68 z with what appears to be a good original core
While I know it will fit my car and has the correct IH code on the drivers side tank it has the incorrect OD code on the passenger side tank.

I looked at a correct CB coded repro tank from Heartbeat city.

Is swapping out this tank doable and will I need new brackets and a lower neck and a filler neck as the repro doesn't come with these parts?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help:thumbsup:

Also is there radiator shop you can recommend as I don't trust this to just any local rad shop I am on the east coast if that info helps.

I have swapped original tanks to new cores, but my Radiator guy does not like to use old cores. I buy tamraz US radiators and have him swap the tanks. Fingers in North Brunswick, ask for Tony. make sure you tell him (not the front desk guys, only Tony who actually does the work!) it is for a classic car and looks matter. Make sure you give him the original brackets to reuse. I recommend Glass beading the tanks and brackets before swapping he can do it for extra $.
