Making my 760 run cooler 700 1989

My 760 really struggles on very hot days after she has run a few hours. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to have the radiator rodded out. That made me think that a larger radiator might be a better way to cool her down. Anyone replaced the smallish radiator on a 700 series with something bigger?

Open to all ideas. One thing I plan to do soon is cool air induction. That might help, too.

Thanks

Sorry for the first message -- anyway, read this: 'You may be in luck! There's a 50% larger capacity radiator available that may work, from IPD!' [700][1989]

        Compensation Boards, the difference between the ones in the 240 and the 700 series. [700][1989]

        Advise against rodding out the original radiator. Low pressure loss in Volvo intakes. [700][1989]

        Thanks for the clarification about 700's Compensation Boards (vs. 240's) -- good info, and appreciated! N.M.I. [700][1989]
