I have put in aluminium radiators at 1/3 the price in a 1942 Jeep, Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol. All were excellent and still in perfect operating condition after a number of years rough off road use.
I believe there is no doubt they are more thermally efficient than the originals but you will have to do your own research on that.
I think saving several hundred dollars on a lightly used vehicle such as a collector blitz would be a an excellent budgetary decision.
Just my opinion.
