It will probably be fine, but you can look into adding a electric fan to it. check out Jegs or Summit racing for one.

If it's not over heating now, why not drive it the way it is. It might do just fine. just make sure your anifreeze and water are at 50/50.
But if your determnind to spend money. go with a elec fan and make sure you have a shourd.

Electric fan will not cure a plugged raditor!!! Frist thing i would do is get that puppy cleaned. Start simple and go on from there. Clean and psi test the raditor, psi test the raditor cap, check proper working of the thermostat. Make sure it is the right thermostat for your car.Find out if your raditor hose is collaping, when hot!!! Even check that your timing is correct. Go simple and make sure of your basic`s frist . Then spend the dollars, if you need to.

Most of the time a electric fan will not cure the problem. If you use an eklectric fan with the original it should be ok, but if you have a radiator problem get it cleaned. Make sure you have a shroud, these usually will save alot of time and aggrivation
