I have been doing some looking as far which route I want to go with a radiator.
Silla Automotive has a new 3 core all aluminum radiator out that is cheaper than the Summit Racing 2 core. I hear the Summit radiator is good. Better than a 3 core copper radiator but, is the Silla better than the Summit radiator that is 40 bucks more???

depends on core size, a large 2 core such as the summit maybe more efficient than a small 3 core.

Good point. the Silla is 225 shipped and the Summitt is 249 or 59 without shipping.

The Summit is a thick radiator and the one to buy as far as I have been told but, the price of the Silla is attractive. I haven't looked into it much but, it may be worth a shot to save 40 or 50 bucks.

my summit one is big and works well, holds temp at 180 all day long, it is built by Northern Radiators

Is it the more cores the better?

^some times, it depends on the material, construction and size of the 'lines'

is this deal at latemodel a good one and worth it?

The silla is all aluminum. No copper. No plastic. . . I have no clue about the thickness or size of the lines.

There is a seller on e-bay selling Northern radiators for 200 bucks. The closet size he has is a 28x19.
