Factory 93 FD Radiator?
I have a 93 FD and it has a two row non plastic end-tank radiator. Did some factory car come this way? It's made of brass/copper.

A. The OEM stock radiator is incredibly will built and will
last forever. It is a bastion of reliablity and will
never leave you stranded in Bumfuck, Oklahoma.
B. Aluminum conducts heat better than copper and is
therefore more efficient.
C. The plastic end tanks make my car 1 lb. lighter and
much faster.
D. I enjoy rebuilding 13b's in my spare time.
And the answer is:
FALSE!

You have an aftermarket radiator. Measure the thickness of the core. Stock (stock type replacement) is 1 inch, fluidine is 1.5, and the KOYO is 2 inches thick.

All jokes aside, there's no way in hell his radiator is copper. It would weigh a ton, be incredibly expensive, but would cool like a MF.
It very well could be brass...but is brass more efficient than aluminum? I don't think so...but I'm a software guy at heart and we know nothing of metals so feel free to call me out on this one.
