Anyone used a 944 radiator on an SBC V-8 conversion, I have one and was measuring it for size, it would fit well and has dual puller fans, plus temp sensors built in. You could also use the over flow tank! Just a thought! Not sure if it has the cooling capacity or not?

As a rough rule of thumb, there should be about 1-1/2 square inches of radiator for each cubic inch of displacement.
A 327 CID would, for example, require ( 327 x 1.5 ) 491 square inches. For reference, one of the more standard radiator dimesions is 19 x 26 which works out to 494 sq inches. Hope this helps to get you calibrated ... |
