Has anyone put the 560 SEC aluminum radiator into the 450 SL or SLC?

Yes I know the 560 SEC top radiator hose if on the other side compared to the 450 SL radiator. It appears just changing to the 560 SEC upper radiator hose is the only water related change required. All MB radiators in the SL and SEC had hot water going into the top hose and cooler water coming out the bottom.

Aluminum works better for heat transfer compared to brass. There is even different aluminum fin configurations that can increase cooling.

The price of the aluminum 560 SEC radiators is between a third to half the price of an aluminum 450 SL radiator. Nissens is only $240, is MB approved replacement. But they can be found for as little as $139! Even found one for $119.

So far I haven't been able to find a three row 450 SL or 560 SEC radiator. Most only have the two rows, but I sure would like to find a three row.

Wonder if MB made a 3 row for tropical climates for either the 450 SL or the 560 SLC.

The reason I am not looking at the 560 SL is they changer the fittings from top/bottom to the sides.

Yes I know there will be a slight issue with the transmission cooler lines.

Also will be fitting with dual electric fans with a tight fitting housing.
