Dear Gordy;
I don't see why it wouldn't.
The original 1951 radiators cooled the 302s A-Okay for decades.
The newer core material with more tubes might be slightly better but not needed unless you want to change because of the age/condition etc.
My 37 Chev P/U only had 2 rows of tubes (big) and worked well. I just changed it out cause I live in the desert.
Good luck.
