radiator for 455

I'm planning to replace the 326 engine in my 67 Lemans with a 72 455. I'm assuming my 40 year old radiator will not be up to the task. What would be an appropriate replacement? Thnx

Thanks Will. I should probably go stock for now. If I need something more in the future, I will rethink the cam and the associated valvetrain.

Thanks Will. I told the engine guy I was wanting a daily driver and let him pick the cam. I can't afford to race, so good street manners and making lots of smoke will be fine! Thanks for the input.

Quicksilver - yes the car has dual exhaust pipes. I looked around and I honestly can't find anything around the exhaust manifolds that I can identify as a heat riser valve. Anyone have a picture of...

Vmax, mine behaves very similarly. I have the original 326ci in the car and if I remember correctly, I had more than 18" vacuum. There is no way my brakes are going to lock up. Thanks for sharing....

Answer to Sammy B

Mine are awful as well. I got the standard kit, 10 - 10.5" or something like that. They fit under the 14" Cragars. I called SSBC about the poor braking and feel. They said that I probably glazed the...

Paul, so your diff was out of the car as well? I guess the bug-a-boo is not being able to use a bottle jack on one still in the car.

Thanks George. I take it the "companion flange" is the yoke that connects the U-joint. The info I had said to "drive out the pinion shaft with a brass punch". Yeah right! I don't have any way to weld...
