The 61-63 F85, Buick Special, and Pontiac Tempest were similar and all used the 215 (in addition to other optional engines). Do you have the old radiator? Most old-style radiator shops can replace the core in your existing tanks. Cores are readily available in a wide range of standard sizes.

alot of shops around here are wanting close to 300 for a re-core, so if i can find a new or reconditioned one for cheaper i would rather do that.
