Looking for a radiator and electric fan combo.
Something that will easily drop in and cool/handle 540+ hp 455. I'm thinking of going with a be cool set up but I want to know what some of you guys are using? What works? What doesn't?

Thanks

 

This is what I have on my 425hp small block, works perfect. I bought my set up a few years ago, and it looks slightly different than this link. One of the main things I wanted was high quality Spal fans, and this kit has that.

I use an adjustable controller to turn the main fan on at 185 and off at 175. I'm running a 170* stat. Second fan is currently hooked to a manual switch, but I will soon have it controlled by the FAST EFI ECU.

Thanks Nick! Did it drop right in? How was the install? Are these radiators american made?

 

According to the ebay link the measurements seam to indicate it will.

If I remember correctly, all I had to do was move the driver side "U" mount from the core support inward a few inches, because it would not clear the larger end tank. I also had to notch the top plate to clear the tank. I can take a picture if you'd like.

These mods may not be necessary if your car has factory HD cooling, mine did not.
