(Anybody else a fan of the Jackie Chan cartoon?)

I may be in a position soon to upgrade my radiator, and dug up this thread. Heading out to Summit, I see that in the same 'circle track radiator' section, there's a part 126222 that has Ford inlet and outlet (top right, bottom left). Any reason this wouldn't work in place of the previously recommended 125222? It would definitely make hose routing easier.

When I do this, I know Don recommended a dual fan set up - can I get away with reusing the one I've got (single black magic, I think)? I'm hoping I'll realize a nice difference just by changing radiators.

Finally, the Griffin radiator discussed here has 1" tubing - BJGreen mentions going with a different Griffin with 1-1/4" tubing. With an 11:1 .060-over 351W, is the 1" tubing adequate, or is it worth the extra 33% price increase for the extra flow?

Thanks once again,

JLW
