It was not long ago that "cooling" was the major issue. Now it seems that we have learned enough to make several different configurations work. I can't lay my finger on what it is we have learned but my recommendation is to use smaller radiators and EWPs. Jerry

Interesting, Bernie
You dimension 18x16x1.5 gives you a radiator with a total of 288 sq inch of
core face verses the 198 sq inch of 2 GM cores. On the other hand the
thicker GM cores give a total of approx 668 cubic inches of core volume and
yours 432 cubic inches. Since surface area rather than thickness seems to
be the top dog in the cooling arena, your 100 sq inch more of core surface
should give your radiator the edge in cooling.

But how *thick*?

My radiator is a single pass that is approximately 1.5 inches based on my
memory which isn't too swift. I will measure it and let you know if
different.
