    on my 354 i had a friend who owns a radiator shop make it . used the oem top tank from the 29 model a , built the lower tank , reduced the height by 6" . he used a core that is 3 core thick , doubled up and pinched througout the core runners , this 354 will cruise at 55 mph about 165 degrees . the dimples in the runners slow the coolant flow , and the doubled up cores are amazing , i also had to my fan from 14" to 12" and it still cools great . most of the old hemis were known to run a little cool , im not sure about yours though . the radiator shop is in NEW CASTLE PA. and this guy is an artist , pm me and ill give you his # mopar210
     
  6. 29 model A...hard part is tucking it behind the topolino grille/nose piece...i can go about 18" up and 15 1/2" wide,,but i have room to go thick...4/5"+.....
     
  7. Put the radiator in the back, I've seen that at Columbus and the guy's I talked to said it works for them. Good luck, Rags

    I'm using a griffin two row aluminum in my 40 ford to cool my 392 hemi it runs around 180 degrees here in Michigan even in traffic. I have a spare 4 row that came with my car the po had built for cooling a 331 hemi and I had it cleaned and tested at a rad shop if you can fit it in your car I'll give you a deal on it. I used it to run the cam in on my engine and it ran under 180 the whole time. Only reason I went with the aluminum is to get some weight off the front. pm me if you are interested.

    Have a PRC alum. rad. 354 blown Hemi in 32 ford, 180 deg. no problems. The cooling system without heater takes 4 gallons of anti-freeze water mix.
