Just stay with all stock parts for an engine like that. Stock water pump, 26 inch radiator, shroud, clutch fan, etc. Run the highest drive ratio pulley set that you can find so you're spinning the water pump fast and you should be fine.



I agree, it's pretty hard to beat stock parts for cooling.

I put stock parts to the test pretty many times now out west in the desert during the summer when it get's to 110 degrees and my car idled for over a hour in stop and go traffic with the AC on.

It also cooled it to the top of Pikes Peak twice on a 95 degree day where there is no air with the AC on and stayed cool. At the bottom the rangers came door to door to every car to tell us to turn off AC so we wouldn't over heat going up this hot day. The old dodge walked right on up with the AC on because it was too dusty to leave the windows down and AC off.

Nothing better than stock when it comes to cooling, imo.
