Aluminum VS Brass Radiators
Hi everyone,
I have a 34 ford with a every day 350 Chevy with air conditioning and an automatic and solid hood sides. I haven't had this car long and don't know much about it. It has a Walker rad and it is not worth fixing. I haven't had the chance to idle the car around a show and cruzing so I don't know if the Walker rad was enough or not. It's leaking now and a local rad shop told me to get a aluminum rad because this one was old and not worth fixing. Are aluminum rads that much better?
My other question is, my car has an electric fan (pusher) and a regular engine fan The car never got past 180 or so and the fan never came on. Yes it works. Would I need a electric fan and a engine fan with a aluminum rad if I keep the engine fan?
Im sure there is tons of experienced rodders on this forum, what do ya think?
Thanks,
Rex
