Any one swapped out the original Lark six radiator for a 3-4 core from
another manufacturer with no modifications necessary?

My OHV6 car did well during the recent "warm spell" with the stock
radiator.
Do you have overheating problems or are you moving to a more powerful
engine?

Find a Nissan 280 or 300 Z radiator. They fit perfectly.

Thanks I will look into that. As far as the questions that came with your
pos I don't know if they were intended for me to answer as well but I will.
No overheating in hot weather or normal driving. When the car is being
pushed over 80 mph it gets hot, not to boiling point, but to hot for
comfort. I was told by Bill Cathcart that the water pump is spinning to fast
so it's not letting the radiator do the heat exchange it's meant to.

So, change the radiator to a bigger one and/or get the car overdriven. One
thing at a time.
