Each of those cores in a full inch wide. Cores in copper/brass radiators are only 3/8" or 1/2" thick. So the answer is YES, it will cool just fine.

Good Luck!

the cooling capacity is far greater than the stock or three core stock copper/brass units .. Also you want to make sure to back flush your system and drain it completely. then use only distilled water and antifreeze..not tap water it wont like tap water...To many things in it like iron calcium ect...Bruce

Hey Dan, you don't happen to have the guy's business card do you? I'd rather spend $225.

Be cool offers a KILLER bolt in radiator i think there worth the extra money if you want maximum cooling.
