| RE: Cooling system still |

I use the Milodon high flow 160 in my setup, seems to work well. How hot is this thing getting?
I did several things to help keep my setup cool. I live in CA and it can reach 113 in the summer and this is a 428 with heavy mods and factory AC.
I got the Edelbrock alum water pump, High flow 160 stat, ported the water passage in the heads to match intake, blocked exhaust crossover passage with ColdSteel, use alum intake, large fan shroud, smaller fan pully and larger crank pully, 4 row factory desert cooling rad, 9qt deep sump oil pan, 25% antifreeze 75% water, headers.
I haven't had a problem yet, but I did notice that this engine warms up REAL fast. I run 205# in the standard compression check so I'm guessing 10.25CR. This tells me that this engine needs all the help it can get to keep it cool. I have the ProBlend products ready for summer if things get over heated.
Suggestion:
Griffin makes stock replacements that are a fair price, mine would have been about $100 more that stock replacement, and they are exact matches to stock.

Use WaterWetter, and ProBlends stuff for both oil and water.
ProBlend: 1-800-331-9520
Block the exhaust cross over in the intake. change pullies to the stock AC type for a faster spinning water pump. Get the Edelbrock alum water pump OR get the add on rear plate for the impeller for a stock water pump (increases flow up to 30%)
Flush the engine to insure nothing is blocking the flow. Engine oil cooler.
