Is anybody using a stock 4cyl 32 ford radiator with a SBC? Wondered if one would cool okay with a mild 327. Thanks
No it won't. don't build in trouble, get a new radiator made for a sbc in 32. You will be glad you did many miles down the road. A few dollars spent now will save thousands later. P s I don' work for a radiator company.
I used a 32 4cylinder radiator years ago with NO problems, but it was a 283. Standard bore, 9 to 1 compression and a stock camshaft. 283's are well known to be COOL runners, even more so when stock. Good advice from Seldom Scene and TV on buying a SBC ready radiator for the project.....I have a Walker 4 row in my Deuce.
Yea, oh well, kinda thought it might have trouble, but was tempted by a good buy on one. That nearly 500 bucks a pop for a new one is a big hit on the wallet. Mike
My 31 4 cylinder radiator barely keeps my 31 4 cylinder cool! Get a bigger radiator. Do you know if the 32 radiator is a 3 core radiator or 2 core?
