The two row 1inch tube cold case should be more than enough to cool a stock slightly modified V8 . Had a two row 1 inch tube in my Chevelle with a 496 ran nice and cool with the stock clutch fan the surface area of the tubes is greater than a 4 row copper radiator because copper tubes can’t be very wide because they would break . When it got damaged I went with a Dewitt’s 2 row 1.25 inch and spal fans . Runs cool never has it overheated .
I agree that the shroud is the culprit. Looks like the fan isn’t even inside it also it seems to look like the fan has a huge space between it and the radiator.
