Cooling System Update for 64 Dart

Let the electric vs. mechanical debate begin! :popcorn:

I prefer electric myself, so my 451 is cooled with a 3-row 26" aluminum radiator (there isn't room for a 2-tube), Ford Contour fans, and an Autocoolguy PWM controller. Works perfectly and maintains temp.

You won't need that much cooling for even a warmed-up 225 though...

Of course, I’ll never need as much cooling for a 225 unless I was running something like compound boost and doing heavy track days (which I’m not) but I’m planning on building a cooling system that’ll be able to handle more than what I plan on putting behind it.

I love seeing the electric vs. mechanical debate on these forums. I understand some people’s concerns, especially if you messed around with it 15 or more years ago, but it’s a different ballgame now, better components, more support, etc.
