you fellows seem to be ignoring some radiator 'basics':

ss tubes are used for their corrosion resistance, not at all good for heat transfer as compared to copper

and round tubes for their pressure capability, inferior to ANY flat tube with soldered or brazed fins

the ONLY reason to use a round tube radiator is because its cheap
- and given the price of heater cores . . . .
