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.

Wow, just read Tech Topics in the new (Feb 2010) MoPar Action and your
question was partially answered very well + more. Basically get rid
of full shrouds and replace with a Stock Viper (Late) or a 98 Grand
Cherokee 360 shroud & fan assembly. It states they have serious fans
and vent flaps for
high speed driving. The owner says it fixed his heating problems & it
took
.26 off his ET? The article also goes onto diagnose a problem with
pressure in the system caused by galvanic corrosion 3 days after the
engine has cooled down.

Just checking with the group to see if the touted aluminum radiators
(single or double pass) and with or without electric fans & shroud do
a better job of cooling a High Performance Mopar engine (400-500HP)
better than our good old 3 core (or four core?) High Efficiency copper
radiators w/shrouds and Mopar clutch-fans?
Please reply via private or list-wide e-mail if you feel it factually
beneficial to the group as well.
Thank you in anticipation of the empirical data and personal
experience vs.
the "marketing blurbs" of the catalogs, radiator/fan companies, and
hear-say."
