[Healeys] Radiator

[john spaur]

I checked the archives but could not find a discussion about my 
particular question. I am getting ready to have some radiator work done.

The shop I am dealing with has what they call a High Efficiency 
radiator core that some of the Alpine car people use. It has more 
tubes that are smaller and as a consequence more fins. It is a copper 
radiator. I am also told that there is a staggered tube design but 
this particular radiator is not the staggered tube design.

Does anyone have experience with the staggered tube design versus the 
smaller tube design?

How about just the HE core design?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Just researching solutions on the road to finishing the restoration. 
Concours is not the route I am taking.
