Aluminum Radiators

Im in the process of shopping around for an aluminum radiator, and I want something thats going to keep my Big Block nice an cool. Who's makes a good aluminum radiator out there? Im also thinking of running electrical fans vs. the old mechanical fan. Any suggestions?

I bought a four row from Genesisautoparts.com for $160 shipped. I had to make up some new top brackets but it turned out well.

I would check out Summit. They have house brand parts that are reasonably priced and perform just as well as an expensive unit like Griffin or BeCool.

I have a Be Cool.

Dropped my running tempreture from 210 to 180.

It replaced a recored 4 core.

Thats about what I want to be running, about that 180 degree range. Now your Be Cool do you have electric fans, or are you still using the mechanical fan?

I run a Be Cool radiator, factory fan shroud, factory clutch fan, and a high flow 180 degree thermostat.

The coolant is 30% green antifreeze, 70% distilled water, and a pint of NoRosion.

My car will run at 180 degrees even if it is 90 degrees out.
