I put a metal (copper to be exact) radiator in my old (now her) 84 a year or so
ago.  Note that I bought it used, stripped it out of a junked '85 5kS.  The car
has many, many miles on it since then, and went from Maryland to Colorado via
Iowa in two days, so that should have stressed all sorts of things out.  No
problems, it's about the only thing in the car that doesn't leak.
