A cross counter flow rad is one in which hot coolant is first
passed down the back side set of tubes and then up the front side set of
tubes in a two row rad configuration.

If you can find someone to make this configuration, at a reasonable cost,
let us know.  The only radiator builder that I went to for quotes that would
even said they could do it was Griffin.  I specified that configuration when
I ordered the radiator, and what I got was was conventional two-pass.  When
I called them I was told they couldn't fabricate the end tanks with the
baffles in the 'long' direction.

Two thin one row cores back to back will work Al. It is an advantage but to some
it may not be worth the extra hassle. Best to get stock cores and find
a good welder and have them made. I have some friends who own a rad shop
up here in Santa Paula. I will see what he can come up with for one 
row cores. We also have a few talented welders up here.
