would a 3 row 22” radiator be big enough
to cool a 472 hemi?
 
would like to go with original style radiator
and no AC does have power steering and 4 speed
 
We need some more info.

what fan?
Shroud?
what water pump?
What coolant?
What temp thermostat?
How much horsepower does it make?
What kind of driving?
Have a hood scoop? Open or sealed?
What oil weight? (Thin oil cools better)
Fuel mixture checked with O2 sensors or EGT?

The 4 speed helps some

none of the above this is a new build just wanted some info before i go down this path. My 69 bee has a 22” opening and dont want to change with all the paint work being done already. HP 600 to 650 street driven
six pack hood and 10w-30 oil.
 
I've used the wider radiator with the small cowl opening. Not ideal but can get the job done, may need to experiment with the fans & a shroud sure helps.
 
Just get the cold case setup with electric fan and should combo. You’ll never go back.
