Radiator advice
I'm ready to get a new rad for my '67 I6. This car will be a weekend driver, with upgrades to the I6 in the future (?). Any advice on 2 vs. 3 row, alum. vs. copper, and where to get a good one? I've seen some for around $300. That's about right for my budget, but I could go a bit higher if it was worth it. Thanks in advance!
I replaced the original radiatior in my I6 67 Coupe but for the life of me I can't remember what I bought. 
67's are very specific as they have "ears" on either side of the radiator, make sure to get the right one.

I went for one like this (differences: 1966, no transcooler, top right bottom left). For the same price of $249, it is an excellent radiator that will cool even a hot V8.

I6 send and return connections for the radiator hoses are on different sides. I would stick with specific I6 radiators. My 67 ran perfectly cool with the MU unit listed above.
They are also more efficient as they can use bigger tubes than a brass radiator. A two row AL with 1" tubes is more efficient than the same size 4 row brass and with 1 1/4" tubes it is more efficient than a brass 5 row. There really is no other choice unless you must stay original.
