Here in Arizona, for the last two weeks I have been driving my '59 with a 235 in mid 90 degree temps. I also had to shim my radiator because it was too far away, it's now well within the 1/2" distance from the radiator. Like stated earlier, I chose to install a fluid recovery system and have been very happy with the results. I can see the levels change from cold to hot and have not lost a drop of fluid. It certainly does not look stock, but it also does not look bad either.
