Check out my new Aluminum 468 for my Daytona

I searched the various radiator makers looking for the largest radiator I felt I could imstall. My choice came down to 68 bbc
I made what I call adapter plates that both bolt to the ram mounts and the radiator. Once thats worked out its just a matter of bolting it in like the original.

So, just to be clear, the biggest radiator you could find that fits our trucks without excessive hassle is made for a '68 big block Chevy.... what? Vega? Impala?

68' camaro big block . I still get tempurature increase at wot, but it recovers quickly using efan.. In town stop and go there is no problem in hot summer with efan running. At cruise it is good. But the radiator is sensitive to having air restruction like stacking coolers. I had to move my intercooler heat exchanger down behind the bumper which also has its own fan.

I'm still using the 392 @14psi. 11.66@118
Here is a picture where I would get temperature creep at cruise. Running the efan would pull it back down. But air flow was too restricted even at cruise. The radiator had the hd trans cooler and intercooler heat exchanger stacked togrther.

Haha except stacked like that restricted the air flow too much. Had to move the intercooler heat exchanger down behind the bumper.
The current configuration works good.

Now that’s a sharp clean engine bay! Have you considered using a hydrobooster to clean it up even more? Get rid of that big vacuum canister

Looking forward to seeing this beast run!

Thanks! I had it repainted when I had the motor out. I do have a hydro booster, just need to send it to get coated and I’ll install it.
