Some of the guys on HT have had good luck with "Mushimito" or whatever its called, for under 200$. You might look into them if your strapped for cash.
I remember paying about $400 four yrs ago for a new radiator on my 98 ls (mine was cracked/leaking from the top too). I woulda shopped around but I was making a 8hr road trip to Ohio the next day so had no choice.
