I used an aluminum radiator with an electric fan, no shroud in my 65 drag car and was impressed with the performance. The radiator was purchased from Mancini racing. A good friend of mine has the same arrangement in a 472 Hemi powered 65 Dodge street car with the same results.

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."Gary Pavlovich [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
