You don't get similar for 1/2. There are reasons. Here is a recent thread where Tom DeWitt bought one to check it out. Chinese knock-off is what is sounds like. Also, there is more to aluminum than aluminum. Tom's response starts in post #8.

My stock engine never had any problems with the stock radiator. The car is setup to run hot. I think it's for emissions. This in 115 degree heat. You can get the fans to turn on sooner, but it has to be done via software.
I added a Dewitts later because I added heads, cam, and eventually a 402. The Dewitts radiator really is a nice fit. It's rare that an aftermarket part just drops in without having to bend, cut or grind that.
