update on all-aluminum radiator

A little while ago I asked the board about an all-aluminum radiator. Responses were mixed, but for the price ($220ish), I thought "why the hell not?"
Turns out I was right. Dual-core radiator and aluminum tanks keeps the engine wonderfully cool during these dreadfully hot Chicago days, even at idle in traffic in the sun. Installation was close to an exact fit, but the screw holes are all machine threads versus the effectively drywall OE screws. Fortunately I had a litany of small screws to fit the job. Very pleased with the purchase, and, much to my surprise, all joints are indeed TIG welded and leak-free. For nearly half the price of OE Blackstone, I think this is a fine substitute. Hell, even if prices were comparable, I think this would have been the better option.
Great deal from a somwhat risky ebay manufacturer in China.
