Does anyone know where I can buy a radiator for my 1966 dart. I've been trying to find some but haven't had much luck. I think I would like aluminum, anyone have suggestions? Thanks!

Why do you want Aluminum? It doesn't transfer heat as efficiently as Copper, but is lighter. If the few pounds makes a difference, go for it.
You will need to pay much closer attention to coolant and watch for electrolysis. Much higher maintenance with Aluminum.

It's not that I want an aluminum one. I figured it might be more cost effective, and easier to find as well.

Out of curiosity I checked out the site and looked up my car. And wow, what's up with the chat-with-a-sales-person thing? That threw me off guard! It was nice to actually chat with someone, but who in the world is waiting to chat with me at this hour :P

I think that the motor mounts gave out and i stopped a little hard, the fan ate into the radiator. You can actually see through it. The engine is a 1982 slant, and I'm wondering if the fan isn't too close to the radiator anyway. I saw somr poly motor mounts which I will buy, for when i replace everything. I found a radiator from an 1982 Dodge Diplomat, which looks like it will fit. Now I'm just wondering about the fan assembly.
