I can do that conversion in my head (9/5 +32) and I have a nice APP on my cell phone (C to F) called
Measures which also has a well used inches to millimeters conversion......AND....on the cell phone it is right there in my pocket (wrench in left hand and measures in right hand)......and/or Paul's phone number in right hand
If you forget 9/5+32 C to F just remember water boils at 100 deg C and 212 deg F........9/5 of 100 is 180 (20x9) +32 is 212. OK Paul....and that I can do in my head
Now.....doing Calculas in my head is another story (Area under the Power Curve for example) but I can calculate areas of triangles and rectangles in my head
A Stephen Hawking I am NOT.....he does everything in his head which is pretty amazing for sure

Excellent write up there Jim and I think you have hit on the dilemma.....buy new Aluminum after Market or stay with well cleaned stock risking possible radiator leaks in an old radiator later on. I think the Aftermarket Aluminum Radiator may have a bit more cooling capacity with the same air flow.
Also might add that your cleaning procedure is right on and should be applied to AC Condenser as well as the Oil Cooler.
Especially the Oil Cooler sometimes accumulates an Oily Film (from where I am not sure) which contributes greatly to reducing the Air Flow through the Oil Cooler and as a result through the Radiator. A good degreaser sprayed on the Oil Cooler helps clean the Oil Cooler.
And I am sure you have the Radiator Debree Screen to stop larger obstructions such as leaves and that plastic bag that floats up from the pavement
