Is there any way to run a copper block using a aluminium radiator? I was out at the scrapyard today and found a beautiful HC from a completely totalled ~1997 Pontiac Gran Prix...it was laying in the back seat after someone gutted out the engine compartment and they gave it to me for a total of $0. It's about 5x8" and only around 1" thick. However, it's aluminium and I'm looking into a copper block. Is there any way to run a copper block with an aluminium radiator? Extra antifreeze (I know it hurts thermal capacity)? Anyone actually have first hand knowledge on this and not just 'I was told not to'?
