[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 10538279, member: 20202"] A two row Fluidyne radiator will have double the surface area over the stock rad and the coolant will stay in there twice as long exposed to cooling air (I would stick with a single pass (Fluidyne) over a multi-pass radiator which will impose less restriction on the pump). Jimmy Not sure what you mean by the radiator "rejecting heat" unless I am misunderstanding something ("heat rejection" and "radiator" should never be used in the same sentence unless there is something very wrong with the design). They are aluminum which readily accepts heat, maybe the term "heat transfer" is what you meant to say. There will be some additional restrictions thru a double row radiator over a single row but I don't think it's enough to negate the benefit of the extra cooling capacity. My understanding is even removing the AC condenser does not impact the radiators ability to cool very much. Good points everywhere else especially regarding sealing the opening around the radiator.
