Post aluminum radiator woes

I bought a new aluminum radiator that is application specific. Problem is the shop sent me one for an automatic. I have a standard tranny. Should I send it back or just plug the holes?

thanks, James

If it's a driver just plug the holes because it won't effect the perf. of the radiator.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thumbs up

I wonder if you could use it to cool your engine oil. Maybe put in a remote filter at the same time. That would really help quench engine heat
