Radiator and fan set up Small Block Dart - 10/08/15 05:08 PM

I am thinking I need to up grade my cooling system in my Dart.
Right now I have Aluminum radiator , 12 " pusher fan and a Moroso belt driven water pump set up (old School) It was pretty cool out last night and I was running just @200 degrees between rounds

looking for some suggestions on what everybody else is running.

Pullers are always going to be better than pushers. How much room do you have to work with? I ran a Chevy HHR fan with good success.

That water pump set up isn't doing you any favors either.

Puller (1 big or 2 small) with a shroud. If you don't use a shroud to force the air to come through the radiator, it doesn't matter how big it is. With a proper set up, you'd be surprised how small of a radiator would be sufficient.

I agree
I have the same room as most SmallBlock A-bodies like 5 3/4 "
I was looking at a Be-Cool set up with a Moroso 63565 Water Pump

How are the Champion set ups with the fans, radiators and shrouds?
