Radiator. Does size matter?
Here's a question for you cooling experts.
I have a 1965 F100 w/302 V8 and I have the Flex-a-lite 12" Dual electric fans on it. I just bought a 1977 F150 project truck mainly for the normal upgrades you can get from them and it has a new four row Eskimo radiator on it.
Question: If I put this big radiator in my truck with the 302V8 in it will it still warm it to utilize the heater in the winter?
Sure it's a dumb question but I'm not an engineer and I'll have to do some modifying to put this bigger radiator in my '65.
I appreciate all comments.

The hot water for the heater is taken from the engine so the temp. of the heater water depends on the engine thermostat not the size of the radiator. I would make the switch, you can`t go wrong with extra cooling capacity.
