My 289 is running hot and I just don't know what to do other than get a new radiator. I would like some advice on what to buy, I don't want to spend a ton of money but I want to get a radiator that will keep the engine cool.
Engine info:
'66 (in a '67 coupe) 289 bored 30 over, highrise aluminum intake,edelbrock 600cfm, stock heads, hooker headers, a/c, 6 blade fan, fan shroud, stock radiator. It regularly gets up to 225 with a/c on and stays at 200 with a/c off (temps taken with sunpro gauge). The timing is correct and there are no other issues with the engine.
Upon some research I found this radiator , is anyone running this radiator? Is it any good? Will it keep the engine cool? $250 is about the most I want to spend on a new radiator, a radiator shop told me that they would charge $300 to install a 3 core copper radiator. I just want to make sure that I'm getting a good radiator that will keep my little 289 cool in traffic.
Another question, should I buy and install a 2 core copper radiator or have a 3 core copper radiator installed? This is my daily driver and I do sit in traffic quite a bit.
