Aluminum radiator from "Be Cool", Aluminum heads, intake manifold, valve covers and air cleaner from Edelbrock. Estimated horsepower is around 350. I'll be takin it to the drags pretty soon. It should run high 13's low 14's.

I thought it looked like a "Be Cool".
Nice.

Tell me more about the radioator! The Bristol (Chrysler V8 with turbo!) has some cooling problems despite the 2 electric fans.

Julf, the 2 electric fans are probably what's causing your cooling problem.

I agree. I was also going to go with electric fans but was warned by several people that it would not be a good idea. Go with a good thermal fan and a shroud. The shroud will make all the difference for when your stuck in traffic.

Exactly, and I'd also like to add that you need your thermostat. Don't remove it thinking your car will run cooler, it won't.

Good electric fans and a good aluminum radiator will cool just fine. I have a V8 in a 1999 S10 that makes ~500HP. It runs 11's in the quarter mile on the radials and stays nice & cool in Texas summers, even with the A/C on. Use quality parts, don't cut corners on the setup and you'll be very happy.

Well, the dual electrics are actually standard on the Bristol.
