Hell yes - if you've got the money to spend, go grab a custom alloy job, V8 supercar style. Big 6 core jobbie looks FAT! That said, the rest of us can't really AFFORD that kind of extravagance!
Thing is, try the MA61 rad - it might like like a horrendously skinny horrible thing, but you might be amazed at just what it can handle - often old school muscle cars cook because:
1. They are running SO far from efficiency range that they generate far too much heat - e.g. 308, 288+ cam, tunnel ram = brewing teapot at the lights (if you can get the thing to actually idle!)
2. A lot of people really mess up the installation of radiators - you've got to get ALL the air that comes through the front of the car through the rad - not round the edges or anywhere else. Then you've got to get it out - bonnet vents, front spoilers, etc. help here.
