Standard radiator core. True aluminum would be overkill and very
expensive.

The '74s were a little down on power compared to the earlier Imps, so
1/2 block of rubber could mean slick tires! Or they will be soon. We
all did crazy things when younger, but make sure you are a little
cautious so you DO get older and stay away from the Highway Patrol etc.
