So decided I needed a radiator shroud upgrade (or at least A shroud - none there). Measured up my existing rad on my '67 Belvedere with a 440 (452) and A727 and it is 22". Looked up the part no. and it is indeed a 22" from a 1965 B body with a 318 and automatic trans. Hmm... The car is a resurrected former race car so it is not unreasonable to believe it has a few "Frankenstein" things going on. My dilemma, the car currently runs at 190-220 worst case (heat soak shut off) and seems to run at 200 on average with water, Red Line Water Wetter and no thermostat. I live in one of the few areas of Canada that sees significant summer temps. (100oF here today) so cooling is a concern. I want to make this a "heater delete" car (will make a separate thread about that) and of course I want to improve my cooling. My thoughts were to go with a 26" rad with shroud but then I found this http://www.speedcooling.com/22-Mopar-BIG-BLOCK-HD-Aluminum-Radiator/prod_69.html which should bolt right up and with a shroud should be squared away. Thoughts on this rad, better options, winning lottery numbers...
