What motor would have used a 4 core rad?

[P.J.]

Verry good question!My 68 Camaro l78 488 m22 was ordered with the 4 core rad
right on the original bill of sale. I also talked to the original owner of the car extensively and he told me it was not installed at the dealership as a matter of fact he told me he was waiting for the car at the dealership
when it came in on the truck. I know that many people
are of the opinnion that no L78 camaros without air came with 3 core rads. This camaro is different for some reason.
The original owner was working for GM as a automotive enjineer and was on the team that was developing the NASCAR
mark 4 enjine. He also was and still is a well known drag racer in Windsor ONtario and a high performance enjine builder in that area. That may of had something to do with the car having the 4 core rad installed on the car from the factory.This car has a rich history of drag racing all of its life. I am curently restoring it to what it was when it was drag racing with a 427 425 hp enine. the original owner
held the class record holder at the Detroit Drag strip and raced with some of the greats of drag racing back then.
and I am trying to get a copy of the Track Award Certificate as he will not part with the original.And this car is a GM documented l78 m22 488's car with the original bill of sale.

Peter,I would say it should be the same as the Gibb nova's had. I had a 68 Camaro with a 396-325 motor and it was 3-core. I also had a 375-396 68 nova 4-speed and it was 3-core that's the reason I asked. Kim

Thanks for the iformation
however as I mentioned before my car was ordered with
a 4 core rad. I have the original bill of sale for the car
and it says HEAVY DUTY RAD VO1 $30.00 Canadian.

I have seen several Tank Stickers from Corvettes that had heavy duty cooling / extra radiator fluid typed right on them in the options area, they were all Canadian shipped cars.
Is it possible that some Canadian bound Big Block cars got the 4 core radiator as a way of holding more coolant for the cold http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
