If you run them in parallel, you're not going to have even water flow to both radiators.
First off, the prime has 3/8" barbs, the BIX has 1/2" barbs. So that's more resistance on the prime, so more water will flow to the BIX, due to the fact that a fluid always flows the path of least resistance.
Secondly, the BIX is a double pass rad, where the Prime is a quad pass rad. So that is also a volume limiter. So even if they both had 1/2" barbs, you couldn't push water in that fast because it's going into smaller channels.
Just thought I'd throw that into the mix....
