Aluminum is NOT more efficent. The only reason Detroit uses them is because they are lighter. And the only way they can be repaired is to pinch off a tube and apply epoxy to it and hope it works. Jut like the Horz flow Radiators they don't cool better just have a lower profile so the frontal area of a car is smaller.
