I'm curious about the rest of your cooling system. Coolant recovery tank? Shroud? Type of fan?

what I have is a 4 core radiator with twin electric 13" fans plus a factory shroud with a 160 fan clutch on a old 426 hemi aluminum blade fan (my off topic stuff is all gen 2 hemis) the grill area is shrouded to force the most air into the rad. the water pump is a moroso short hi flow unit the intake has been modified to have rear to front external lines. Plus it runs a big block style bypass in the front
