Default 40 Ford Drake radiator saga

Ok guys, got my Drake radiator back from the radiator shop today. He said it had probably 8-10 tubes plugged off. With solder I suppose. He ran a rod though the rest and he said it flowed good and seen no reason why it shouldn’t cool. I put it in my coupe drove it around a 10 mile loop. The temp rose up a little past the normal mark . With The original radiator I took out of the coupe and put in my sedan the temp hardly ever got past the normal mark. So the jury is still out on this thing. I plan on taking it out tomorrow and really stretch it’s legs. We’ll see how that goes.
