If it gets hot them you get a better cooling fan with more speeds and a full shroud to cover 100% of the surface area of the radiator.
You can also tuck the radiator under the core support giving you room for a mechanical fan.
There are lots of ways to cool a 302 in a gen I ranger
That radiator should handle it, the key is getting enough air moving through it even during stop n go traffic, in Texas with the ac on....that has always been the challenge. Many electric fans come up short of that goal...But these newer cars have 2-3 even 4 speed fans these days and they are slim and can MOVE some air.
Since I like to 4x4 in the desert I have stuck with a mechanical fan...
