Well I run an alum radiator in my race truck, and Ivan has one in his truck both mounted in the bed of the truck with electric fans and they work great but then again the radiators both of us are running are pretty big units.
Alum radiators are more effiecent, and do a good job of cooling, but I can't give you specific part numbers that will work for your application although I know there are companies that make direct replacement alum radiators for almost every vehicle out there.
