    Since overheating is one of those problems all of us rodders encounter, I always put in a new radiator and big fan and get that issue out of the way up front. It will take the enthusiasm out of hot rodding real quick when your hot rod is, well, HOT.

    The original may work if redone, but if your budget allows for it, just bite the bullet now and be done with it.
