Default Radiator?

Having a cooling issue when I get up to speed. I have a new water pump and am now leaning toward a clogged radiator. I opened up the cap. Stuck a magnet down there and picked up a lot of corrosion. So what radiator are you running, how much did it cost and where from?

Thanks

CSF 3-row copper/brass, Raidator Barn (they have been sold out for awhile but other sellers have them), $220, Barely gets over 210 on a hot day at low speed with the AC on full blast and an old fan clutch (I really need to get around to replacingthat ), and stays well under 210 on the highway.

If the tanks are not aluminum, most likely the core is not aluminum either. Most aluminum core rads will have plastic or aluminum tanks. Most copper core rads will have brass tanks.
