Help cooling 408 stroker

I've done a 6 month research on what it takes to cool a performance Mopar . Several issues arise that is common to b.b. & s.b. . These are my results : the block and heater (if you are using one) must be clean . sounds basic but needs to be said . I would start with the least expensive upgrade and go up in cost from there . Next in line is a high flow thermostat (affordable) . going on from there is a high flow water pump . moving up in cost is an aluminum radiator (spendy) . Radiators come in all thicknesses but for this discussion we'll stick with 22". I have found that 2 rows of 1" or 1 1/4" tubes cool best . You get increased capacity and good air flow . The diameter of the pulleys must match . this is important for pump life . Hoses : use hoses designed for your car , not the universal convoluted ones . If you are not using a shroud , then get a 18" fan with a clutch if you have room . If you use a shroud , use a 16"15" fan . Belt : use a 5/16" wide belt , not a 3/8". the 3/8" belt doesn't set in the pulley deep enough and could fly off . Coolant : 50/50 green coolant with distilled water (not tap water), distilled water is cheap . Add water wetter and/or water pump lube as per directions .
One final thought : LA/BB/GenII Hemis were never designed to run at high temps (195*+) the cooler the better . Magnum/GenIII Hemis are designed to run at 195*+ and higher . Hope this helps , Tom
