I need to purchase a radiator for my SBC conversion and am in need of some suggestions/part numbers. JEGS? Also, will need a over flow canister and hoses.

I would think it's too small plus square tubing does not have the best flow characteristics. If it were me (and it's not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) and I had exhausted all other means I would buy some larger hose and run it the easiest, fastest route just to confirm your suspicion.

Did some research this evening. Found that mounting the temp sensor in the intake next to the t-stat is a good location and gives the best indication if the cooling system is working correctly. So much for what the Griffin sales rep told me. I also found out that sometimes the threaded pipe adapter that the sensor is screwed into (then screwed into the manifold) was shrouding the sensor part of the sending unit rather than placing the sensor directly in the path of coolant flow. I need to confirm whether my sensor is completely in the flow path of the coolant or if it is partially or completely shrouded by the threaded pipe adapter. Look like next will be the coolant lines themselves.
