I have a 71 Ebody w/426 hemi dynoed at 525hp. The stock type radiator isn't cutting it in the warm weather.
Anyone have a take on how to keep the car running cool? opinion on radiators or additional cooling methods?
I prefer the stock look but would rather protect the investment over looks and I want the drivability
Thanks Joe

I have a Griffin B-Body radiator in my Charger and it cools my 528 Hemi very nicely.
Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451

Thanks all for the response,
One more statement and question, I have ralley gauges and they are restored but still stock, so temp doesn't read in degrees, they read like a bar graph Cool, Medium and HOT..
Many response have stated theirs runs cool..what is cool in degrees?
I have a new 26" (stock type) clutch fan,7 blade fan w/shroud. I am thinking of adding a temp gauge that reads degrees, but for nopw I have to make sure it is cool first.
Thanks again.
