Not sure what you meant. Original brass or aluminum being heavier. Aluminun is way lighter. Brass does conduct heat better. The new design 2 row aluminum radiators are way better then 60's tech at cooling. If you want, i will weigh my 67 original 4 row vs my rodney red raidiator when i change cams before spring. Just remnd me cause after lifting several of each, dont even consider using orginals any more.
