if you not got AC and wanna try a budget double core, use an AC condensor in its usual place but plumb it up to water. A boundary rider in here years ago did this with great results.

I do sometimes read about twin row L radiators at USMB , I think they may have been aimed at auto turbo cars .

I personally think an oil cooler with the thermostat in the oil filter adapter is a better bet . Engine oil usually runs hotter than the coolant temperature so the difference in temperature between air and oil means good heat rejection .

There is one golden rule , NEVER use 2nd hand oil coolers because they often come off blown engines and had crunchy bits go through them . It is impossible to get it all out but if some does its going through your engines oiling system - expensive .

I had a custom brass tank two core radiator made up for my old L series wagon when I had it. It took it out to use in the RX coupe but never fitted it. In the old L series it did make a huge difference on cooling on a hot day.
