i'd install a block heater and a dipstick heater also. but where i grew up sometimes even that is not enough. i've seen it so cold that nobody in the neighborhood could even turn the engine over, the oil became like a hard mass. i remember once we had to use little sterno cans under the oil...

it still sounds like you were chasing the running hot problem last year also. my suggestion: get a stock 26" A/C type radiator just to test. grab from a salvage yard or whatever. heck even new they are like 60 bucks. i had a 340 dart ran the piss out of it 120+mph or whatever it was...

20 years hmmm. i would say the radiator is clogged probably, at least partially. you could probably take it out of the car and flush it with water real good, then drain it fill with some radiator cleaner or white vinegar & water, shake it around if you can. be careful the rusty crap that comes...

looks like auto trans lines going to radiator. also with the high rise intake i'm assuming you have a powerband up in the 6-7k area. so i'm assuming a high stall converter? tell us about the converter. trans cooler? is the radiator 26" or 22" ?

if thermostat was stuck shut, i bet you that water pump is gone bad... just my opinion. especially if you run her hard. my 340 dart would require new water pumps every so often because of owner lead foot abuse lol.

i'd say if you're in texas or sit in stop n go all the time then 180 is better if you are up north and just do free wheelin' 190 is fine the real debate is whether your block passages are all clogged up and your radiator is all clogged up . those are way more important than thermostat...

just get rid of the clutch fan, sell it 400-1719 19" ALUMINUM RACE FAN 45.99 from Jegs that's what hemidenny used on his swap with the griffin aluminum rad

yeah. you could probably get a stock radiator of the same type for the '70 chally ac cars that are 26", (non aluminum) for much less. the main thing is be careful with the height of the radiator. not all 26's have the same height. if it's too tall it wont fit in an abody. and the lower hose has...

with the HDK kit we are using a '70 challenger 26" radiator (AC version) with the Mopar P2998326 fan shroud, and a 19" flexlite fan 400-1719 the part number for the radiator from griffin that i got is 5-70058, which has the auto trans line hookups. the non auto trans version from griffin is...

i think the diameter is a bit smaller than the recessed hole they sit in, if that's what you mean. coil spring end goes toward the engine.

hard livin will do that to a car lol. anyways... sounds like you have two separate issues. first is the cooling system. please remember that the block water jacket is part of the "system" and is probably clogged to hell. someone could have even added to the problem with stopleak. before...

when you get the radiator, be sure to check the overall height. i got one off ebay that was about 20" tall, but if you are anything over about 19" it's not gonna fit without mod work at the bottom. so $100 down the drain lol.

power (watts) = amps * volts so in a house a 900 watt heater = 110 volts * amps so your amps are bout 8A what do you think a 900 watt heater will run for amps if you have only 12 volts? hint get your calc. just get heater hoses they dont look that damn bad do they?

is it coming out the bolt holes?

you can also buy the premix antifreeze that you dont add water to... works just as good as the other type plus distilled water

you might even find a dodge pickup or van with a small block that has a fan/clutch/shroud/radiator all together.

it's really not that hard to make an excellent looking, durable shroud ... http://www.the-rumbler.com/fanshroud-1.html that being said... with my old '68 dart i sold a long time ago... i used to visit junkyards. i first got the biggest mopar radiator i could find (came out of a valiant...

this guy has a nice guide to make an aluminum fan shroud http://www.the-rumbler.com/fanshroud-1.html

1/2 inch nipples are as good as 3/4 inch nipples in my opinion

bad water pump or thermostat upside down
