If you want to try an aluminum radiator at a lower price, I just pulled a Dewitt aluminum BB radiator out of my 1966 roadster after 5 months of service. I replaced it with another, more expensive, aluminum radiator that allowed me to keep my air horn compressor between the radiator and inner fender.
The radiator is Dewitt's A66m for 66-68 BB cars. It is super clean.
Dewitt sells it for $495. You can buy mine for $350. My 4speed car has factory A-C and the Dewitt radiator maintained the engine temps at 170-180F unless I ran A-C in city traffic on 90-100F days, when then can rise to 190-210F. Even at 104F in South Dakota this summer, the car never puked a drop.
According to Dewitt, the radiator provides 30% more cooling capacity and can handle 550HP engines. After 2 recores on my brass radiator, I switched to aluminum and bagged my brass radiator for future restoration or future owners.
