Isnt Acetylene or Map gas overkill?  We're just talking about Lead/Tin 
solder, Not Silver Solder.

A Propane torch is plenty hot.  The only thing to be concerned with, is 
if it is on the tube near the top or bottom of the radiator, at which 
point you may have to heat sink it to ensure the tube doesnt melt out of 
the top or bottom pan.

Now, if were doing a repair to the top or bottom tank, to the brass 
itself, it would warrant silver solder, and map gas, or Oxy/Acetelene to 
perform the repair.

Just my .02
