I had great luck with my champion radiator for my 70' 340 car from FABO member ChallengerGary

American eagle (sister company to champion cooling) aluminum, 1 inch tube core, 22 inch radiator, originally for a 74 dart (I have an aluminum water pump in my early-a) 230ish shipped to my door. very happy with it. they offer the correct radiator for early-a's with cast pumps as well.

Aluminum is cheaper. Brass/copper cools better.

You may also want to make sure that you run a shroud. The shroud helps cooling.
