Since they don't make the slimmer radiator for L6s anymore, you're going to have to buy one for a small block V8. and move the radiator bracket further out on the passenger side to accomodate it.
A three tier should work well in California. If you have a Manual Transmission, you don't have to run tranny cooiing lines into the radiator, but it may come plumbed for it.
Copper/Brass is the OEM type, and is preferred.
The Aftermarket has decided that Everyone wants an SBC radiator whether they know it or not.

[Unless you have an old school Radiator Shop in town, and they can re-build your old one.]
