Okay guys, we have been using a stock radiator for some time and it has done a very good job cooling with 1inch, 2row core. Now that we have a filled block, we want to ensure that we get proper and efficient cooling for our bracket engine.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good racing radiator that we should use for an A-body big block mopar? Price wise, what are the best options available?
Thanks in advance for comments!

Exactly as BobR states. You have actually reduced the demands of the cooling system. Radiator choice isnt very critical in that situation.
Get a decent radiator and a better oil cooler.

mine is a 31x19 dual pass aluminum and I use dual Spal fans... Same as mine, never a over heat issue. If its street driven go for the oil cooler, with my half fill my oil gets hot and thin and I notice the hardblock holds alot of heat...its the only areas on my block that the high heat paint wont stay on. Do yourself and your motor a favor...oil cooler. Quote:

I bought mine off a fellow that sells them on Ebay...
