my car puked up at academy after running errands in town. once i removed the cap after getting home i saw this.
Now is this radiator salvageable or should i just get a new one.
i want to go ahead and while i have this out replace things in the cooling system as well. here is my list, please add if you think i need to replace more, and suggestions on where to get produxts from

water pump with H/V one. from who?
hoses. with springs in both. from who?
thremostat and housing are already here.
fan shroud. never had one, wasnt sure about matching one to aluminum rad that is in car. from who?
possible radiator. from where?

i just want to make sure i cover all areas, i've searched and read hours of others having issues after buying things and not curring the overheating bug.
my car has a mild 383. its bored 10 over. with headers and not sure on cam but it doesnt seam huge. if that helps.
it seams like the longer i drive it slowly heats up. takes about 45 min. to get hot and puking.
let me know what you think. and if you need any more info.
