close call last night!

[Ron Wainwright]

   Listers,

  I had a very close call last night with my top rad
hose connection blowing off.
 Going down the highway last night in a spirited race
with a Cobra Mustang in my 90 200tqa with a modded ECU
and spring. I was ahead of him when all of a sudden I
felt the power drop, seen a big puff of smoke out the
front of the hood and my coolant warning went off on
the display on the IP so I imediatly went from over
100mph to a stop at a gas station off the highway,
 got out and popped the hood to find my top rad hose
connection dangling and coolant all over the engine.
Looks like the hose clamp snapped off part of the
neck.
 But there was enough of the neck left to re attatch
the hose so I did and got a gallon of water and the
rest of the coolant I had in the car and filled it
back up and was able to get home, so it looks like I'm
going to need a radiator. I've seen that Modine
doesn't make the all metal one any more for our cars
so who's got the best price? Has to be OE German.
Who's just replaced there's and got a good price?
 Thanks for any leads
