    I don't care for either aluminum radiators OR electric fans, so can't help you. Maybe someone else on here can.

    I have a Howe aluminum radiator, new in the box along with electric fan and shroud. Crossflow that measures 28wide by 19 tall.

    Decided to use copper/brass and mechanical fan.

    Copper has the highest coefficient of heat transfer as well as the most corrosion resistance. Mechanical fans move more air.

    I used a Griffin radiator 1.5 tubes and a dual 11" spall fans with its own shroud boy does it run cool. my only complaint is that the end of the radiator are epoxied not welded. so far so good though. Ed ke6bnl this is a 327/300hp motor in my 50 f1 ford pu

    Aluminum rads with plastic tanks epoxied together tend to leak at frigid temps. I've replaced several with "old-fashioned" copper ones, for a quarter the price of a new one.
