Hi. New to the forum. I have a friend who is rodding a 1937 Dodge truck (I believe that it is one step larger than a pickup). He will install a 350 Chevy emgine (300-350 hp) and would like to know how to cool the engine relatively inexpensively. He can purchase a NOS 37 Dodge truck radiator (thicker than a pickup radiator-2" thick I believe). Will this cool the above described 350 engine? Are there better alternatives working with a $400 budget?
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Rich
its hard to give you a for sure answer on that rich, depending on the motor, what kind of load youre going to pull,what kind of fan and shroud youll have. if everything is right and with a new rad. it will probably be ok. sounds like its a little light though.
