[V8] No don't everyone run out and buy them..

Come on by and I'll show you a few.  I never had a problem with them, the
type 44's all have/had Modines.  The 5KS went to the big Autobahn in the
sky (Chris Semple) with a 15 year old copper/brass Modine that was still
solid, have had one in the 200TQA for a decade now, and as I stated in
the other post am running 2 GoDans in the V8Q's with no complaints.  Good
ole Prestone green in the entire fleet too.
 
The 90Q came with one when I bought it; I personally prefer the failure
mode of the brass/copper radiator over the plastic.  Most of the time the
plastic will just blow out a chunk O plastic with a catastrophic failure,
the brass variety will fail as a very slow leak, and you can keep driving
the car for weeks/months with an occasional top off till you get around
to changing the radiator.

I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end. I'm not sure how I got
here, or how I'm going to get out.
