old radiators do get clogged over time and lose efficiency, so it depends on how clean it is. but it is a system, so it also depends on what fans you are running as well.

Sounds good. I run a stock radiator on my SC 86 with a 10" rear fan and have had no issues either and it can get very hot here in summer. Now I'm looking at doing some internal engine mods rather than external, so my question.
