I talked to a trusted radiator shop (Kirks Radiator in El Cajon Ca, they make custom radiators) he said all copper radiators are pretty much junk because of the low-lead solder used now. He said the best thing to do is get the aluminum core w/plastic tank type for $160, or he could build a better quality custom copper for $300.

I recommend bolting it on so you don't have any issues. My brothers truck had that ground burn up cause it was not properly grounded and it caused all of the wiring and fuse box in the engine bay to have to be replaced.
Save yourself the hassle and bolt it in.

Clean both the connector and the area it's getting bolted to with a wire brush or some #0000 steel wool, then smear some dielectric grease on it to help keep corrosion away.
