I have had the current one flushed but it still runs too hot. I assume the original is undersized. What are the recomendations from the board? I have looked at the Be Cool from Summit for $499. Any other suggestions.

Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 | I had these guys build me a custom radiator for a '61 Stepside I used to have. They made me a double bypass radiator. Keep a Hipo 454 nice and cool!!!! Seemed to remember it costing me about the same or a little less than the Walkers and the Summits, etc. http://www.mattsonsradiator.com/ | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | Don't have the catalog in front of me But I bought mine from Jegs.

Couldnt find that part # but found one close. Does the universal radiator have side fins for mounting or did you need to use brackets?

Required a little fab / mod of the existing radiator brackets, but it is in and cools the 230 all too well, and should handle the 350 that's coming with ease. | | |
