Default radiator opinion

So A while back I put a 2nd gen 318 in my 89 mazda b2200. I've just about got everything ready to run but I'm still trying to figure the cooling system out. I've got a v6 S10 radiator in there thats like 16"x24"x2" and thats core measurements. Some say the v6 rad is fine some say no just kinda wanting ya'lls opinion. Oh and im running a 16" electric pusher fan.

look at the core dimensions of the radiators for our trucks and compare. you'll find your answer there

It actually came out of a dakota so it had a smaller one in it anyway. Guess I'll just try it and go from there.

16" fan may be too small. How many cfm will it create?

My fans pull. Two 19" fans. You may want to really keep an eye on temp to make sure cooling is sufficient.

Yeah I was thinking that, I put a mechanical gauge in it so I can keep track of it. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll cool it enough and I won't have to spend any more money lol.
