I either need to recore a stock radiator (with a v-cell or tube and fin) or 
purchase a new one from a vendor.  A recore from a reputable shop (used many 
times before) is $310 whereas a new one from a vendor is about $225.  Any 
comments on the quality of the new ones and their cooling capability verses the 
stock 2"?  I have some fair dollars in my in-line and don't want to skimp on 
cooling capacity, yet want to use what dollars I have wisely.

Also, is anyone running dual Rochesters on their inline (Offy intake)?  I'm 
looking for a reasonable runner while I break in the cam when I fire it up for 
the first time after a rebuild.  Hence, I'm looking for a good starting point 
on where to set the mixture screws (i.e. if anyone is running this set up, can 
you please let me know how many turns out you have the screws set on each 
carb?).  I realize each application is different, just looking for a good 
starting point.

Thanks.
