Default Question? Cooling a ZZ4 with a stock radiator

I am getting ready to get the ZZ4/700R4 set in and planned on using the stock radiator,I am also adding a/c.

Am I going to be o'k with a freshly boiled out and gone thru stock radiator which cooled the old 350/350 combo with no problems?

If you use the right shroud and fan, no underdrive on H2O pump, you should be fine. The AC might tip you over on a hot day in traffic, though.

A couple of e-fans with the built in shrouds would do it. Flex-a-Lite or Spal are good brands. I'm happy with 2 Flex-a-Lites (12" and 14").

i'd suggest the dual 12-14 inch spals or flex-a-lites, or i have 2 14" permacools on a 550 hp sbc with a griffin 1"tubes aluminum radiator and works flawlessly.
