I'm well aware of that, Larry.  200q20v'ers would be perfectly happy 
with an all-metal radiator without the connections, since they can be 
easily added by any competent radiator shop.  So we've been keeping 
an eye out for any metal radiator that will in general fit a type 44 
application.

The answer stands- to my knowledge there are  no metal type 44 
radiators made at the moment save the Nissan, and it's not a better 
replacement according to the few who have installed one.

As I said prior, the end-tanks are no longer metal on the Modine units.
