Aluminum Radiator vs. Factory
I was thinking of running an aluminum radiator on my 69 rr. Has anyone used these and what are the pros and cons of each??

Aluminum is lighter, better cooling with the right fan/shroud set up, usually more volume and way better flow. I really don't know any cons, in my opinion it's the way to go.

Be Cool makes them as well, not sure on their price range though.

If you go with an alum radiator, you might want to install a hig flow water pump to get the most out of that radiator then.
