I would recommend long life coolant.  - sometimes referred to as red.  Especially with aluminum rad. Conventional requires too much ph level mantance to prevent corrosion.

Agreed. A few posts back is a pic of brand i am using with great results.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.

Due to import and shipping fees, i ordered a reasonably priced 3 row Champion aluminum radiator (if any of you have negative feedback, please advice) and it will be rubber mounted. I also got a zinc anode, so as to combat galvanic corrosion. Guys thanks for all the replies.

]I belong to a number of forums where members are happy with the Champion radiator...I am one of them. I installed a Champion radiator in the car on the right and in the 36 roadster in the foreground, both over four years ago. No issues and cost effective. Should note both radiators have Summit's zinc anodes that go where the drain petcock was. Also, both are rubber  mounted  but  the roadster uses mounting bolts with coil springs like Henry Ford used on his Model T's , these allow the radiator to flex with the frame.  The firewall to top of radiator support rods keep the radiator perpindicular.
