Interesting thread. I have been thinking about swpping out my copper-brass radiator in the Contemporary cammer car as part of my weight reduction (on the car) effort.
My car has always run cool with the copper-brass radiator and the Contemporary radiator placement gives me more room in the engine bay. Most every new car made today has an aluminum radiator and they seem to hold up just fine. Could the frequency of engine start ups and heat cycles and recirculating of the fluid reduce corrosion in the al. radiator? How many owners have experienced corrosion problems with aluminum parts?
