I get ahold of the Cold Case radiator guy that is here on FABO. I used an ECP radiator and it will cool down my engine right to 170 (I run a 170 degree Stewart Components thermostat) on over 100 degree days. My biggest complaints are I didn’t want to drill holes in the core support to get it to fit (I had to and I did it but I didn’t want to, but after several years it appears almost anything you buy will require a bit of drilling and filing to get it in there) and the overflow nipple points the wrong direction. I know, that’s a bit anal, but it pissed me off a bit. But it works and works well I live in a high desert valley and it gets HOT here, for weeks and I can drive anywhere.
That said, I’d still do the Cold Case radiator because FABO gets a discount and it looks like a great radiator. And, all you need is 2 cores. 2 BIG cores. IIRC, the Cold Case radiator is two 1.25 inch cores. That’s why you want.
Buy a Milodon or Flowkooler high flow waterpump. Get a Stewart Components thermostat. Make DAMN SURE your water pump is turning faster than crank speed. Use a good mechanical fan.
You do all that, and you’ll be able to drive through hell and wave at satan and not worry about overheating. Even in hell.
