[BFix] NASCAR Aluminum Radiator Size

[Les]

The rear crossover just goes from side to side of the manifold.  Tapped right into the water passages of the Intake.   I Have to look at mine to see if I have the bosses cast into the intake itself too.

  Where does the rear cross-over go to?

    Best thing one can do to cool a 351w is have that back crossover open. some aftermarket intakes have it open, some just have the places for drilling and tapping it and installing a crossover hose.

      Spend a lot of time at 180MPH, do you?  There's not much in 'ass-car that is relevant to a 4x4, or anything else, for that matter. 
        Seriously though, as much frontal area as you can manage is a good thing. too thick, and you are not as efficient, but frontal area will always be a help if you sacrifice nothing else to gain it.
       Even more important, optimize your fan and shroud, and coolant flow. 351's are said to have an issue at the back of the heads? not sure, as I've never dealt with it first hand, but there is a cure (someone else who has dealt with this feel free to expand on this)

        Hello All,
        Does anyone know what the dimensions the radiators most NASCAR teams are running?  I am curious because (while I could care less about an aluminum/copper radiator debate) I am looking to put even more cooling into my truck due to the fact that I have a 351 versus the 302.  With the 302/5.0 there was never a cooling issue in the slightest like most people that run one.  After the 351/5.8 there are times that I wish I had more cooling surface especially out here in the Southwest desert climate.  What I am looking into are the 27 1/2" or 31" universal units that you find the "roundy-round" guys use.
         
        Thanks,
        Matt
