Question Performance Radiators Fully Aluminum

I am curious if anyone has used a fully aluminum performance radiator in their 5.0 or 5.8 powered truck. I am doing a little more planning and upgrade considering for my future engine swap. If so which one did you use, did it accept stock mounting points, and did the factory shroud fit well?

Not sure how i missed this. I haven't, but know someone who has. It was actually in 2 trucks. A 94 302 f150 and an 89 f250 both 5.0 trucks. Did fine, both were wheeled hard and there was many high rpm and slow vehicle speed moments. Keep the engines at the correct temps.
