But since the T/A has its original four-speed radiator (the one with no auto trans cooler fittings), I kept that one in the car after having it recored. The local radiator guy said due to the width limitations of the original tanks, there was no way to convert it to a four-core unit. Maybe after I get the car judged I may buy a four core and save the original but for now, I'll stick with what I got.

In my younger years I managed a large radiator shop. You could have a custom core made to fit your original tanks that would help some.........I copped out and put an Alumitech radiator in my formula......wouldn't look right for a car as original looking as yours but not bad for an after market aluminum radiator.....a three row is going to be marginal at best.......I didn't know they used 3 rows on 455's.........
