I’ve been guilty of spray-painting some of these suckers, but here’s a far more elegant solution: Mark 7 Radiators now offers its aluminum radiators in black anodized for those of us who don’t want the bare-aluminum look. Here’s the official press release; I question the statement about “aluminum is a more efficient heat conductor than the traditional copper/brass.” My understanding is that copper is a better conductor, though aluminum is a better diffuser, or radiator. But semantics…

Bay City, MI: Now you can have the look of an original style radiator AND the superior cooling benefits of aluminum. Mark 7 Radiators can build you an aluminum radiator, specifically for your vehicle, for less than most off the shelf generic radiator suppliers. So if you’re interested in the totally restored muscle car look, polished show look with engraved top tank or natural aluminum for a street machine, it’s yours. This radiator was specifically built for a big-block four-speed restomod street machine and will easily cool up to 750 HP in ambient 100-degree weather.

Since aluminum is a more efficient heat conductor than the traditional copper/brass radiator, which uses lead to connect the cooling fin to the tube of the core, the heat transfer to the coolant is also quicker. This semi-gloss black original equipment style radiator has dual 1-inch tube cores, and 1.25-inch cores will be available shortly for mega horsepower engines. Mark 7 Radiators has 16 different anodized colors available and can manufacture a radiator for almost any year, make or model car or truck. A diesel truck version is also available.
