AU V8s are a cast iron head engine still aren't they? If they are the copper rad would be the way to go. If alloy heads alloy rad to keep the corrosion down.The header tanks are still plastic.

Stick with the brass/copper core, and a 3 row if possible... the I6 and V8 radiators are the same basically... but the 3 row will make a difference in any V8.
