I can 2nd Mikes opinion of the Hall radiator. My car had one in it when I bought it. That radiator with 2 upgraded pusher fans has kept the car cool for 20+ years in South Texas heat.

At least a Hall radiator is easily and cheaply reparable locally, unlike aluminum radiators which can’t be fixed. 

What is causing your repeated failures? I have seen cars where the front end sheetmetal impinges on the side of the radiator, so that when the body flexes the radiator is stressed, leading to leaks. The radiator should be rubber-mounted top and bottom and there should be no threat of metal-to-metal contact. 

I have had to use percussive engineering to modify the inner fender to make the requisite clearance. 

FWIW my car has a Hall radiator still going strong after 25 years.  Lori’s car has the same radiator, rock solid after eight years. The Hall radiator is the only one I would recommend—not because the others aren’t good (some are arguably great), but because you can’t beat the Hall radiator for price vs lifetime performance, coupled with utter simplicity of installation.

So after 10 years of continually filling coolant I decided to pay up and replaced it with a  Hall brass radiator which also freakin leaked after 1 year.  So $1k in the hole and I still have a puddle of coolant on my garage floor. Hopefully you have better luck!!
