Default 71 radiator

Trying to figure if this radiator is aluminum or copper.. The side tanks are aluminum, the top plate is aluminum but the outlets are copper. The box it is in is marked "71 Corvette radiator".

Aluminum. You can tell by several methods, but the easiest is that there are no side tanks. Second easiest is by the part number.
