Re: Alum Radiators for stockers ....2015
Northern Radiator has a fairly large selection of aluminum radiators, and they can be bought with fan shrouds, electric fans, relays, and complete kits with all of the above in one tidy package. I've used their stuff before, and it is quality stuff.
Be aware that for aluminum radiators, at least most of the performance versions, the tubes are 50%-100% larger than those in copper brass radiators. So a two row aluminum radiator may have two rows of 1" or 1-1/2" tubes, where a relatively equivalent four row copper/brass radiator would have four rows of 3/4" tubes. The aluminum radiator will cool more efficiently.

Re: Alum Radiators for stockers ....2015
Many of the cheapy ebay two row radiators have only two rows of 3/4" dia. tubes....that's why they are so inexpensive. And many of the ebay radiators advertised as 'three row' or 'four row' have one or two 5/8" tubes and two 3/4" tubes.
Not saying that these won't work, just make sure you know what you're getting. -Al

Most can use a direct fit that is a drop in or near drop in replacement for the OE piece, or at most, the big block version.
