im wondering if a inline 6 radiator will work for my 272 or will it not cool as one that is made for it and if it doesnt work does anybody have one on hand?

Let me get this straight your honda has 1.6 liters and my bottle of mountain dew has 2

I'm thinking the lower hose connection is on the wrong side for a V-8.  Cooling capacity would be marginal.

i had my local parts guy come look at it and he said that he make work we knew that was the probelm with it but if it would cool it good enough

There is a gentleman out of Wisconsin selling aluminum rads for 56 / 57 fords on ebay. (sorry forget the name) Just do a search for 56 / 57 rads and you will find him. Prices are reasonable and the quality is GREAT! Both my friend Alex and myself bought them and we were both very impressed.

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

I was worried about the (3-core) radiator in my F-600 so when I had it recored, I had the shop install a 4-row core.



I was also considering electric fans but none of them were big enough for towing/big loads unless you get the "Super-duty" type fans which are FAR bigger than old ford radiators so I am sticking with an engine driven fan and will use a 19" 6 blade fan, with clutch and tightly cowled shroud.



Using an aluminum rad will also allow you to "up" the cap pressure a little. The rad shop shop told me that older brass/solder radiators (because of the large area upper and lower tanks) are good for only about 13 psi as an extreme upper limit. He told me no more than a 10psi cap.

Which ought to be good for 190-200F or so........





Cheers,





Rick
