Reconditioned original. Mine has north of 120HP and never overheats. ;)
16 blade metal fan and all.

Yes use the original , it should have 16 Fins Per Inch , or if you can find a Moke Californian radiator ,they also have 16 FPI , but have an extra row of tubes for better cooling :D

Concur!

Good physics never gets old, as long as the core is in good condition and the radiator is rodded out.

Its a good time to clean up the end tanks and make the whole thing look amazing. I straighten out the fins carefully with a steel ruler as well before I paint it.
