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.

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.
