Who Makes a Good New Radiator For Our Trucks?
Down to just a few items I need to buy before I order a new GM crate engine for my truck and I got to thinking about my old radiator. My old radiator cooled just fine, ran 190 in the summer with a 180 degree thermostat and a cracked head on the 307 (had lightweight 267 heads swapped on at 1 point, already cracked). But it has a good amount of corrosion built up in it, I think it has a pinhole at the top I can gear slightly hiss when pressurized so I want to replace it before I get the engine. Who makes a good radiator at an affordable price? I know the local shop will want $500 to recore one so I'd just prefer to buy a new one since he's a hack anyhow. Id like another copper/brass radiator. I've seen LMC carries them and they seem cheap but I fear that low price is directly representing the quality? Aluminum might be cheaper since copper has went up so much over the last few years but I've read that the aluminum radiators don't cool as well with a mechanical fan and are designed for electric? Something about fin spacing? All I've ever had was copper/brass so I don't know about aluminum.
Thanks.
