Re: aluminum radiators
Not running aluminum but did notice a temp difference swapping in an HD 300 six rad. It hardly gets to normal temp. This rad is fitted for the inlines but fits the bigger V8 core support.

Re: aluminum radiators
I ran one in mine until I started tearing it apart recently. I got mine from Summit and it took a little bit of fabrication to get it to work but it did run cooler when going down the road. It was on there for a total of about 4 years with no problems. Here is the best pic I have when I did the tear down.

Re: aluminum radiators
i got mine from oriellys it looks and fits like the original but the cores aluminum and the tanks are some kind of composite or somethin. its hard to tell how much temp dif there is tho with the factory gauges.
