If I can hijack this a bit, does anyone have a list of
radiators by dimension? or recommendations for a custom
made one?

Radiator shops have books with lists of all the radiators and their physical dimensions. It would be great to have an electronic list of this.

yeah,the radiator in my 54 is stock and it handled the 350 that was in it,along with the 327 that's in there now..the previous owner said it was "modified" but i dont see how
creepy
