I don't doubt it works, it has been documented to have worked many times now. I recommend against it for maximum reliability. As the saying goes: "Your mileage may vary"
However you are a bit off on your radiator calculation. (and I am not sure how much, but...).
The radiator internal VOLUME may be only a cubic inch more; however the cooling
surface area is SUBSTANTIALLY larger- all that folded aluminum between the (slightly longer) water pipes makes a BIG difference. The six radiator has a better ability to reject heat than the four.
Not starting a war; I just wanted everyone to understand that there is a more significant difference between the radiators in spite of their appearance.
