Raditor size
I scored an electric fan setup a few weeks ago out of an Acadia that would fit perfectly on the stock radiator. Well today I scored a radiator out of an Enclave with a pin hole in it. My question is (assuming I can get it fixed) will a radiator built for a 3.6L V6 be able to properly cool my 383? The core is just over 1/2" wide, 27.5" between the end tanks and about 19" tall. My engine never runs hot even running just a stock radiator and flex fan.

Re: Raditor size
I'd seriously doubt that a radiator intended for a 3.4l engine would sufficiently cool a engine of6.25 liters like yours.

Re: Raditor size
That's kinda what I'm leaning towards, It's an awfully small radiator even though I'm sure it's a lot more effecient. I was leaning towards it just due to the ease of mounting the fan setup.
