my guess by his email is that he is russian and his english may not be the best.
Anyway. I don't think that is a car radiator. It would be more of a heater core than a radiator. If you search I think some people have put together DIY heater systems, but I just bought the package from Heatercraft to make it easy.

Several people have said that a car heater core can be used in place of the heater core in a boat and they are alot cheaper than buying a replacement core throught a marine dealer. I dont remember what car model. Maybe the auto parts store can match it up.

$103 for a replacement heater core that fits the 300 series.

Go to jegs or summit and search for heater. I think mine was 150 for the whole deal.

Translation:

Big Thanks to all!!!

I'm from Russia, and here, it's too difficult to buy the new heater core. It's not that it's too expensive, but too long waiting for shipping. In the autoparts store, nobody has seen a heater core so long because it's in the boat.

(I got a little confused at the end there)

Hey Garri,

I built my own heater and found a few heater cores on e-bay...try there and see if you can match one?

Good luck to you

Wes
