Radiator question

I have a 1970 F-100 with a 300 big six. I have always felt you can never have too big of a radiator. Will the larger radiator for the V-8 work with my engine. Will it work with the shroud??

Trying to keep cool in the Pacific Northwest -- never too early to get ready for global warming.

As long as the water outlets are in the right place, you can put anything in you like. I think the V8 shroud might have issues compared to the I6, but not sure. Might have to look into a generic aftermarket shroud.

gotta have good coolant too, my rad down here in florida is only a 3 core, nowhere near the size of the 4core one i had in my 71. mine works fine down here except at traffic lights, so i am getting a shroud soon, (i currently dont have a fan shroud). so i dont think you have anything to worry about up there in seattle or pacwest wherever u are up there, i was in seattle with my truck and i know its not bad up there.

Write a grant proposal about how you need a new radiator due to global warming. I bet that's one GW avenue that money hasn't been spent on yet.
