The testing grounds for good engine cooling is out here in Reno
during Hot August Nights at the cruises. It's 100+ degrees most years
specially the last parade on Sunday morning. My 69 with the 455 has
never overheated here since I installed the aluminum radiator and an
OEM dual fan assembly (I've found that this is the critical part. You
need to move lots of air through the radiator or else) although this
year I had vapor lock (twice) after having switched to a new gee-wiz
Summit fuel pump. I'll probably go to an electric fuel pump back near
the tank for next year.

I got a BeCool off ebay years ago. Its the direct fit 67-69
CAMARO/firebird. It was not as wide as my original one but bolted
up. I used the factory shround and it dropped my running temps WAY
down like 30+ degrees. Kevin Y> and I discussed this a few years
ago and decided I got what they advertised, but really should have
bought the big block camaro one and it would've been the right size.
I have pics if needed showing where the old radiator bolted up vs
the new one. Like I said it definately made all the difference and
its HOT in Texas.
