Cooling system question?
Do you think a 1970 T/A with a 433CID with 614 heads will it stay in the 175 - 190 degree area with electric fans from DeRalle and a Griffin radiator? The fans would pull 4,000 cfm and the car would be in Florida. Would require a 140 amp alternator since the fans draw a lot.
Also, same question on a 1973 T/A with a 496 CID and #16 SD heads. |

I currently have this cooling system setup on my 1970 GTO & 1978 T/A S/E. Both are 461 engines with Performer RPM heads. This year was the first year this setup here in Connecticut and they worked out very well over the summer. No problems in the crazy traffic up this way. Only thing is the fans are loud, but do the job with the alum. heads. The question is will it work with cast iron heads.

You seem to be hung up on CID and the type of cylinder heads being run when in terms of the motor itself it’s far more a matter of the state of tune in it and the cam timing between the the crank.

I'm hung up on the cast iron heads. The CID is for informational purposes only.

If you had a 1/2 fill to the front water pump holes on the block it would run even cooler
