RE: Polling on your best cooling experience; OEM copper radiators and cl

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joey and Gary,
	I can attest to that.  Neighbor has a 65 Coronet with a mild 440 and
a BeCool crossflow two core radiator.  We live about 20 minutes from BeCool
- he drove up and bought this new as a cosmetic blem - was assured it would
be overkill to cool his mild 440.  He was never happy with it.

BeKool is way overpriced for what you get, sometimes I think a stock
radiator works better than theirs.

Gary, for my 2cents I was having alot of cooling issues with several stock
type radiators including one from a 383 A/C Barracuda. I'm sure part of my
problem was the state of tune. However I got a Summit crossflow radiator
#SUM-381425 for $189. I spent another $90 at the radiator shop and got it
customized some. It cools waaay better. If it gets hot at the drags all I
have to do is drive it thru the pits once and it cools down. I do believe
I'll need a shroud or preferably an electric fan set-up. I think it's a much
better bargain than the BeKool $800 set-up.
