It the radiator is the same square footage for the I6 or the V8, two rows would likely work, if you don't run AC. But I wouldn't do it. I can vouch for the fact that a two row radiator is marginal for a 400 SBC with AC. Chevrolet tried to save money on big cars and put 2 row radiators in many. We had several of them sitting waiting for engines after they roasted, less than one year old. No savings there!
