Aluminum radiator
I am lookin for a decent 4row radiator to keep my temps down. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Any ideas? I am having temperature issues now with the stock motor, so I can only imagine what it will do with my new setup.
Any info is appreciated.

Re: Aluminum radiator
Sounds like you may have other issues. I have no problems with the stock system and my 355

What should I look for? I am not sure how to pressure test. I don't see any water anywhere and the radiator is full. I have the fan wired to a switch and it still gets hot in traffic. I have replaced the thermostat.

Air dam in place & in good condition?

You can " borrow " a pressure test kit from autozone. Comes with instructions & can test the cap too.

Re: Aluminum radiator
I'd go with a Champion 3 row. I have a Champion 2 row in my slightly hopped up 350 and it stays right around the t stat rated temp.
