i have a single core aluminum radiator from my 85 LG4 Z28. I also have a 2 core copper/bronze radiator from my old 84 Z with a 305 HO. Which one of the 2 would cool my engine better?

Copper conducts heat much better than aluminum, plus it has two cores. Bronze is just an alloy of copper and tin. It should definitely cool better.
