[BFix] NASCAR Aluminum Radiator Size

[philmoulton at comcast.net]

Very true but it is a easy fix to get rid of that hot spot.
as far as flow. a clean good flowing radiator (I do like the Ron Davis one that I have- And I beleave are being sold by some of the major Bronco houses)
Also a high volume waterpump and a GOOD Radiator cap.  The easiest bang for the $ is a good Radiator cap.

  Doesn't matter. All that rear cross-over CAN do is equalize the temps and coolant pressure btwn the cylinder heads. They do NOTHING for aiding in coolant flow.

      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
