Those cheap alloy radiators killed the old time radiator shops i worked in...

I had to get one modified several times, and none of the mounting holes were drilled. The guy doing my welding said it was "rubbish alloy" but overall, it was much cheaper than the $7,000 a brass one would have cost (most of that $7,000 would be tax).

Chances are, yours will fit better, may not be any welding needed.
But you'll get what you pay for. What's the worst that could happen for $200? You'd still get a year or 3 from it.
