Hello,

I am finishing off the last few details on my car. It runs a bit hot if you keep driving it for long. It takes awhile, but once you get up to 15 miles or so, it is in the 210-215 range. And that was with the temps in the 70's.

The engine is a largely stock 440 and the radiator is a 3-core 26" model out of some Mopar, maybe a truck?? It fits well.

Timing does not make a difference in temp. I have a 7-bladed fan and clutch in it.

Here is my question:

Should I get this one rodded out and reuse it? Do you think it has the capacity to support this engine?

Or get one of the Champion Radiators and just buy it new and be done with it?

What is the approximate cost on either option as far as you know?

Thank you for your help.
