I'll second that opinion, if the tank top and bottom are sound. Mine
was re-cored at a time when new radiators were not available because of a
UPS strike, and the shop used a core with an additional row. Temps here
in CT were 95+ yesterday, and some spirited driving of the '72 GT never
raised the needle above the left edge of the N. Car does have 10 row oil
cooler.
