There will be no racing going on, just local street driving. I also had installed a 180 degree thermostat in the motor.


A 22 inch radiator might work as long as you have a shroud and a big fan. The factory typically used a 26 inch radiator with big block engines.


Big Blocks with either A/C, or steeper gearing. Most used 22" radiators. 383 Super Bee's 440 GTX's, etc.
