If the radiator is a stock size replacement you could use a reproduction version. The electric fan may fit inside of it. You should ask the guys at Autorad if that CFM rating of 2000 is enough with an AC system and whatever your horse power level is. I THINK you would be ok. But better safe than sorry with a cooked engine or stuck having to buy upgrade parts down the road.

2000 cfm won't cool 600hp. You need over 3000cfm especially with AC. Greg is correct, motors like heat to a point. However, injection and carbs are two different ball games. 180 is perfect with a carb where 210 will make it pissed off.

I have an old saying I like to use about cooling and stuff like that...

Better to have it, and not need it... than to need it, and not have it.

Can't have too much cooling - that's what the old thermostat takes care of... It only allows enough water flow to maintain the temp... and electric fans are temp controlled - so if they're not needed - they don't turn on...

Nothing worse than being stuck in traffic - hot day - and that ole temp gauge starts the dreaded creep.
