My '41 had an ill fitting truck radiator which dribbled a little (Barrs fixed that) but cooled the stock engine very well. Replaced it with a Champion aluminum radiator rated for 500 hp, and have been fighting cooling problems at idle ever since. Can't blame it all on the radiator though, because the engine was souped up at the same time. Fan shroud goes on this week.
