Any of you guys ever see/have a radiator...

The original radiator in my old '90 Mustang was nasty...I had it out for some reason, and noticed that some of the fins near the bottom of the radiator had this odd red color to them. If you touched them, they disintegrated. Yeehaw.

I put a '93 Cobra replica 3-core in mine. Weighs a ton. Shoulda just bought an aluminum one.

Copper and brass I thought that stuff wasn't supposed to corrode or anything????
!


not sure where you heard that

copper will go green in a heartbeat.  brass is usually the means of joining two copper connections but cheaper means would be solder.

Aluminum would oxidize and corrodes somewhere in between the rate of copper and brass.  Aluminum would be my preference but heat disipation / release is gained in copper.
