Nice, Where did you purchase them from?

David,
Can you give me a sitrep on how you like it now that it's installed and you've had a chance to run it under normal street conditions and....I'm assuming just because it's you, David...under extreme acceleration and adverse conditions? Just curious. I would probably trade a bit of originality just to protect an investment made in engine components, you know?

These were purchased from Mustangs Plus. I got on their website and then called a tech rep and made sure i was getting the right parts.

Now that i have them installed on the car...

The cooling is amazing. Nice and cool in the hot sun in traffic doesnt go above 190.

I just got a brand new trans, so i havent really got on it yet, so i cant really say how it does under extreme acceleration but i assume that its going to be more than fine. The radiator cost me 544.95 and the fan cost about 250.

That's about what I figured. Thanks. ;D

Is the advantage of an aluminum radiator its light weight or its heat disipation abilities or both?

An aluminum radiator serves for both purposes. It's lightweight and helps with heat disipation.

I weighed the aluminum radiator--16lbs. The stock type with 3 rows of cores weighs 22lbs. So a difference of 6lbs. Aluminum dissipates heat better.
