Cooled my 440 4-Speed just fine in South Carolina heat.

Is an oversized 2 row radiatior better than a 3 to 4 row radiator?

 

[T2R9]

2 3/4” or 1” tubes will flow as well if not better than 3 or 4 smaller tubes. Find a local shop and price getting your original done vs an aftermarket.

Ok yea I was doing some research and your right about the 2 row is better than 3 or 4 row

Did you have any fitment issues when installing it and will these allow my stock fan shroud to bolt on?

I too have the ACC radiator in my 70 GTX and it works great and fits good with factory shroud.

A little trimming on the bottom mount points but minor. Shroud mounted without an issue in the stock location.

Have you tried to burp the cooling system?

What temperature does it run at?

Do you guys recommend drilling a small hole in the thermostat?

Just my opinion......quit fiddle ******* around and call Bob at GLENRAY RADIATOR and purchase his 26" max cooling radiator for your application. It's brass construction. It looks exactly like the original except it has more tubes. It guaranteed for as long as you own the car. It will cost ~ $1400 plus shipping.....complete with cap, overflow tubing. Use a Flowkooler pump for your engine application.
BTW.....heat exchangers (aka radiators) are based on surface area (both air side and liquid side) and velocity of the coolant thru the tubes, specific heat characteristics of the coolant and temperature differences, both air side and liquid side......fundamental principles of thermodynamics apply. Don't even consider aftermarket aluminum heat exchangers....not on price but performance and warranty......I've used GLENRAY MAX COOL RADIATOR ON MY RS23V0A****** for 8+ years and performance has been EXCELLENT

Call Bob at GlenRay, my 440 stays cool city driving at 98 degrees ambient temp.

Original 67 26” rad with thermal static fan. And shroud. It might have been done prior to 1996.
Runs fine.
67 383 auto 22 inch rad, original fan had it 3 cored.
Driven in 100 plus F heat to a TDC meet in Aurora Missouri in 1993.
Big point was TDC members had an opportunity to see the collection without any customers.
