Big Block cooling
Can anyone out there help me on this one? Have about 150 miles on Lone Star Classics Competition 427 kit. (great kit,drives like a dream) Problem so far seems to be heat. Am running 1970 casting 454, bored 20 over to clean up some scratches, Edelbrock highperf water pump, 160 thermostat, Permacool 16inch, 2950cfm fan, 180degree snap switch, as well as manual override switch capability, 600hp Griffin 2row radiator. Winter project has been to complete full front shrouds inside radiator front opening. Should now have 95% of frontal air going thru radiator. Only real question of big Bowtie officionatos---- do I really need the 3/4 inch bypass hose from the waterpump to the front of the intake manifold. I have a highrise filler and no heater or heater hoses. To bypass, or not to bypass, that is the question...
