Lightbulb New Radiator !

I have swapped a performance built 350 into my truck and I am not going to use the original honeycomb style radiator . I have decided to use an aluminum radiator for the increased cooling which will be needed so I was wondering which radiator that others have used.

Re: New Radiator !

I have looked at all the options , I have calculated the square inches of cooling surface and looked at fins per inch with my years of experience at a radiator shop . I feel the best radiator option would be an aluminum . It will save an extra few pounds and the heat transfer is greater , plus the price is less. I can actually buy two aluminum radiators for the price of one copper/brass design.
