My OEM radiator is finally on its way out, neck is leaking and end caps are leaking.

Before I buy a OEM replacement, are there any other options that offer full aluminum construction, drop in fit, and not cost $600?

I've looked and looked, you can either get a OEM style for 100-130 bucks or, get an all aluminum for 450-500 guess its all depands on what you gonna do with your car, or how often you gonna drive it,

You don't ask for much. You only drive that turd when the planets align. Just get a GM factory rad. and be done with it. Do not buy from auto parts store.
You're welcome

I just want a OEM level performance, but with metal end tanks.

Drove it 100 miles yesterday to the track, didn't race though.

And yea, prob grab a delco rad, just hate the plastic.

Have a champion radiator if you wanna look at it. To make work you have to modify the rubber isolators and shroud a bit

When I swapped in the new motor, I ordered a new GM oem radiator from my local GM dealership. It's more than enough cooling for the new combo.

I used a Napa replacement on my LT1 car, I had a nice Griffith I wanted to use, but the fans would hit my EWP. I like the stock fans and the car seems to run cool. One option, if you want to get spendy is, I started using Dewitts. Used one on my old C6 after the blower and have one in the GTA. They have 4th gen replacements as well as slimmer after market fans. Some thing to consider if you're dead set on wanting one with metal ends.

Look into Holley radiators.
