Default Radiator Repair or Replace

Here's an email I sent to Bob, but thought the information may be helpful to others. I'll report back.
Bob,
I’ve got #071. Been talking to Peter about my shopping list after a blown engine has me checking off some squawks. I didn’t know I had radiator problems, but this one from 1983 needs help, according to a trusted radiator man. As you can see, it’s the old two-pin style. A re-core estimate is $750. Is it time to swap to aluminum, single pin mount? It's a very tight fit passing the upper control arm nuts. Can you provide any pricing to help my decision?
Looks like I’ll need a radiator and a different top mounting plate and requisite hardware. What am I ignoring?
This feels like a $750 core is the cheap route! :/
