It's simple, just read this paragraph from above--


"With plenty of water flow and plenty of air flow, and all the other little factors ruled out, that left the conclusion that there was just not enough radiator. The car came with a 01T 122" wheelbase truck radiator in it. That should have been a clue. I cleaned it and sealed it and put it back in. It has 462 square inches versus 399 of the Champion. That is 16% greater, plus the truck radiator is 5/8'" thicker, for a volume increase of over 50%."
