Default Radiator?

Is the radiator a 2 row,3 row, or 4 row? I had to go to a 4 row radiator, Edelbrock water pump, Shelby open front valance, auxillary 16" electric pusher fan , and a 16" flex fan to get mine cool (200 F) in 95-105 F ambiant temperatures.

This is experimenting over several years and with a highly modified, but relatively tame street engine. I wouldn't waste my money on "water wetter", "40 below", and similar products. Can't say they don't have some short term effect from one tep to the other, but longer periods just don't show an appreciable result.

I might add that after my origial build, The new radiator was 50% occluded within 20,000 miles, frorm crapolla left in the block when originally built by a reputable machine shop. I did have the (new) radiator disassembled and rodded out the disocclude the passages. It worked out wellb I recommend putting a filter inbween the themost and the radiator. That's what I'm gonna do next ime around.
