It is very thick aluminum not like the cheapo be cool ones that are paper thin. The one I bought was a direct fit for my charger but you might have to get one for something else to make fit in your car. My car runs 160* in the heat and can idle all day long. 67' charger 499 RB 10.57 at 127

Is yours a 3 core or 4 core? What do you run fan-wise? CrAzYMoPaRGuY

Definately the best way to go as the aluminum radiators expand and contract more then the copper brass ones did and they need some room to move. Also helps in the vibration department. 67 Barracuda street/bracket car 11.27-119 68 Dart 502 BB 8.70s-152 414 cid SB Dragster 7.65-174
