These radiators seem to have identical inlets and outlets yet is the model B radiator different capacity/ greater heat exchange than a model A radiator?

Claude since it’s an A related question i moved it here for you. I’m sure someone will know -
Not sure, but I used a B radiator to help cool the 55 Olds engine in my 32 back in 62. Due to clearance issues had to "make" a fan. The B radiator also cooled the Pontiac Tempest 4-cyl I ran for a while in the 32. FWIW
You're probably going to have issues with shell attachment and rad cap issues??

Maybe a little better. The Model B still used the 4 cylinder engine so additional cooling would not have been an issue.
the B radiator had 8 fins per inch as the Model A had 6.Comment

Fwiw
I believe Claude’s car has the V-8Comment

If it's a V8, it's not a B....................B designated 4 cyl.

I need to get a new radiator for my late 28 roadster. The good news is that there are options. The challenge is that there may be more than one good option. Here is what I have narrowed it down to:
1. New Berg's radiator
2. New Brassworks round tube radiator
3. Have Bert's recore my old radiator
Many people love Berg's radiators. They don't recore anymore,...12-02-2018, 09:11 PM -
There is a radiator manufacturer near me that advertises all types of radiator cores. While I don't need one now I thought I might take an A core down to them and see what they can offer the hobby. I don't think any of the "Model A" radiator guys sell just cores anymore and was wondering if there would be a market for just cores that you would use your tanks....09-26-2017, 02:27 AM -
Got my 1933 v8 engine running, running great motor sound like a new engine. Experiencing several tiny radiator leaks high up on the radiator. Any ideas how to locate the actual hole? Should I try "stop leak"...05-29-2019, 07:52 AM -
anyone have trouble with a brassworks radiator with the filler neck to short? 1930-3112-10-2018, 06:40 PM -

I have a 29 Delux Fordor Town Sedan that needs a new radiator. Which is better Brassworks or Berg radiator?...05-05-2019, 11:02 AM -
I've taken my radiator to the local radiator shop to be re-cored. The radiator man reckons that the frame will allow me to have four rows of tubes, which I'm thinking of going with.
Now I can't remember how much clearance I had between my aluminium two-blade fan and the old radiator core. Is a 4-row core likely to reduce this clearance too much? He tells me that it will be 54mm (2.13")...07-05-2018, 08:24 PM -
Along the lines of Mitch's post, I don't know the answer to this, but so many of us have had problems with cooling and the blocked radiators, I wonder if there could be some good calibrated check of the rate of flow through a radiator. For instance, keep pouring water into the radiator so that it is full (flowing out the overflow tube and top of the radiator won't matter) and then disconnect the...08-13-2017, 09:03 AM -
I am just curious if anyone here has ever installed an electric fan on the front of their Model A radiator. Before you scold me, I know it won't look right... but I have a reason. Here in Texas it gets extremely hot & I drive my car year round. I have an AC so when it's 108* outside, I am comfortable in the car. When it's this hot outside, my car does not overheat. Going 55 MPH down the highway...03-21-2019, 12:25 PM
