Look in "Drivetrain upgrades". Topic "Radiator suggestions on V-8 Conversions". Ben has put together some useful info you might what to look at.

I know there's a little info about this in some past posts. I would try the bulletin board "search" function (under "User Options") first and see if that helps. If you need more info then we'll go from there.

Kind of a late repy, but I've had three different sizes in and all fall short of cooling. On a hot day, :oops: mine still spits a bit. Go ALUMINUM and dont waste time on anything else, if you can.
