radiator question
i just ordered a VistaPro radiator. its a four-row with copper and brass tanks. what does the copper and brass do compared to plastic? and is this a pretty good radiator compared to stock 2-row from 302?

Just wondering, is this the one you're getting Vista-Pro Ready Rad 436009 - Vista-Pro Ready-Rad Radiators - Overview - SummitRacing.com ? If so, did you get it from Summit, or somewhere else?

No, just wondering since I'll be needing to replace mine in the future and was looking for a good replacement.

Vista-Pro Ready Rad 436009 - Vista-Pro Ready-Rad Radiators - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Um, I was looking at the description of this rad and it states under "material" that this is made from aluminum and plastic.
You said your new rad was made of brass and copper.
Is that the right rad from Summit? I'm looking at replacing my rad also because one of the side tanks (plastic) is leaking and want a brass/copper one.
I found a 4 row Spectra Premium Radiator with the same part number 436009 at Auto Zone for $268.99 which has no plastic.
Do I need to worry about a different fan shroud?
Any thoughts?
