Default Radiator replacement on 1970 small block

Hello,
Newbie here with a 1970. I'm looking to replace the radiator and want to stay with a copper core model. So far, I've found a reproduction Harrison that is for a 427. What I'm wondering is could I use this even though it's not listed for my engine, which is a built 400? The look is the same as the one that I have now and I don't want to change to an aluminum unit. Although my Vette is not a matching numbers car anymore, I would like to have a part that resembles the stock one.

After posting yesterday about the radiator from my 1970, I found a shop that may be able to rebuild the stock unit. Although expensive, it won't cost as much as the replacement one that I was looking to buy. With the savings I'll use the money to buy the stainless steel power steering hoses.
