Hey guys, my chevelle I bought didn't have the correct radiator in it when I got it.It was pretty rusty looking inside so I thought I would just replace it.It looks to be a 4 core.The one I bought was for a 66 chevelle 396 and when I took it out of the box it looks like it is a 3 core.Do I really need a 4 core or do you think the new 3 core will be fine ?
Thanks

Should be fine, had my original rad recored with a 3-row core and it cools nicely.

A shroud will certainly help if you don't have one, and make sure the fan is about 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the shroud. Supposedly that is the optimum fan position for best cooling.
