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.

Dropped my running tempreture from 210 to 180.

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.
