Depending on the vehicle, a replacement stock radiator may be aluminum construction, even if OE equipment was not. When I needed a new radiator for my Ford 5.0 FOX body car, the rad the local parts store carried was a light, aluminum with plastic tanks version, even though the original was all brass construction. I simply asked for a stock replacement rad for a 5.0 Mustang, and thats what they gave me. It fit perfectly in the original brackets, it cools just fine, and has a wide, single core.Plus the price was very good. It has been in the car(s) for well over 10 years, and has worked very well, even with good wheelstands thrown into the mix.
