Stu,

An excerpt from my 'cooling' e-mail on my custom Modine.  Sounds comparable to
yours, except mine has 1 more row for $300.  Works fine at 105F outside.
'Fans' IS needed.  1 6 blade, and one electric (for bumper to bumper in hot
weather).

"7)      Replace original, or older design 4 row, with new high density, high
performance radiator.  Same thickness as original 3 row, and requires no
mods of tanks.  Modine H 69 H Cross flow.  18 1/2 W x 15 1/2  high.  Four
parallel rows of tubes, 36 tubes/row, each  3/8 inch deep by 0.080 wide
externally.  14 fins/per inch fin density.  This is about $300, built
by radiator shop, and well worth it."
