My opinion just change the radiator to all aluminum. I changed it 3 years ago and i am happy with the results. I am not sure i answered your question but I hope my words helped.

That's a copper replacement radiator for the 19" aluminum radiator that was used with all 63-67 small blocks and 68-72 base 350's with manual trans and without air. Likely made by Spectra-Premium. It's probably not worth much, you can buy them new for around $350.
