Aluminum vs stock (1 Viewer)

[sawbones]

Is there any advantage to an aluminum radiator vs stock or oem? 3 core or 4 core? I am putting a new one in at time of my rebuild. Sticking with stock 6 cylinder engine. 1972 FJ40

4 cores will cool better and Copper radiator is easier to fix. I personally like the longevity of the copper

There is some good discussion in this very recent thread:

Stock value: Aluminum vs. OEM Radiator

I've had both and prefer the stock radiator it works just the way Toyota designed it.
