It is both, the front coolant crossover tube is aluminum and the rest is plastic.

Hi Myron T., This part is an ABS extruded part with the front portion where the water jacket is separate, is made of aluminum to take higher temperature related stress. My old one cracked right where the new part is now made of aluminum. This should be an excellent upgrade. I have had mine installed now for approximately 5 - 6000 miles. I dont believe an all metal one can be had unless there is a 3rd party manufacturing Company building them for racing purposes. I hope this helps. NOTE: the torque tolerances on these replacements need to be closely adhered to, uneven or over torquing, I believe will cause failure. PS, NO gaskets are needed on the actual manifold, they are molded into it.

It has a reinforced crossover water jacket. It solves the problem. There are metal brackets to fit the alternator correctly.

Plastic for all but the water jacket around the front. That part is aluminum.

It is plastic. The holder is ok but I wish I had got the metal one. Hope this helps.

It's got both metal and plastic parts. It is so well made, and I would recommend this to anyone! My grandson just loves it. He's 2, and I can see him playing with this for years to come. Best toy I've ever bought.

Metal. Considering how comparatively low priced this product is, it is of comparatively high quality. I installed it in a matter of minutes and have had it in service now for several months with no complaints.

The part that sticks into the barrel is plastic. The part that sits on the end of the barrel is metal.

Seems like a type of plastic I think...there are metal screws inside but the part that you touch is plastic.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

The fan head and the base is plastic, the only part I can see that is metal is the pole.

It is metal. Easy to install and works like a dream. The holder is plastic and I replaced that with something I bought locally. But it was an easy swap.

Plastic. I broke the original by letting it go too long - the ice cream got too thick, so am more careful now. Don't know if there is a metal option.

It is mostly plastic. I wasn't very impressed. The only metal part was the dump bed. My grandson still loves it though and I guess that is all that matters.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

I believe it's plastic with chrome mylar covered over it. Not sure. Pretty sure it's not metal.

This product is metal. if a reviewer received plastic then they got a wrong product.
