Default Would this cool a bored BB?

Good morning all, Looking for a new cooling system and was wondering if this would keep it cool?

Thanks!

I would do a search here for more info on those. I've read some posts where they don't fit well. If you want to get the best, you can get a Dewitts for a few bucks more.

the radiator is not the only thing that needs to right on the car, the seals all need to be in place, even the spoiler needs to be there to scoop the air up, etc. The fan and fan clutch needs to operate correctly, the system has to have antifreeze in it, the air bubbles need out of the cooling system, the water pump needs to good, etc. Don't just think a radiator is going to fix everything else that is not right. Timing needs to right, fuel mixture needs to right, etc.

A high flow Stewart water pump solved my 468's cooling issues after all else failed.
