Re: Alum Radiators for stockers ....2015
For what it's worth.......when I had the crate motor in my car my aluminum radiator filled with water weighed 1.5 lbs. less than my stock 340 radiator filled with water. PLUS.......my stock radiator cooled much better.

And remember that the water will add a lot of weight (1 lb/pint).

Were you running a 3 row? or 4 row? before you changed to alum... Was this the camaro radiator that you weighed?
