🥎 Do Aluminum Radiators Cool Better
Our AFCO 31" x 19" delivered was less than $300.00 (Included the Aluminum cap). Make sure you ask for Bob Bruning. By the way, our highly modified GM HO 350/330 has never exceeded 180 in the driveway, and this is with the MOON Guage at the waterneck (Best thing we ever did for our '69 Elke). Hope this helps.
Copper transfers heat better than aluminum. Assuming the radiator design is equal, what you're paying for with aluminum is lighter weight and bling factor. Often however the designs are not equal. The average copper replacement radiator is not as efficient a design as a custom aluminum one. Quality copper radiators are available, but not for
The bigger advantage to an aluminum radiator is the number of fins per inch. While copper/brass by itself may cool better than aluminum, c/b radiators usually have far les cooling fins per inch and therefore a lot less surface area and that has a drastic effect on a radiators cooling ability.
