    Doing some other research Its bigger than an early Rustang Rad. This is going into a 48 Jeepster. I also have a 53 Willys wagon with a 360 mopar.that I spent 2 years cooling.Mechanical fan works better than electric A good Shroud, 2core alum radiator. Finnally solved it by Venting the hood. I also Have a 55Truck 327ci with a louvered hood ( I learned) The piture is old The panel in it is now my avitar, Both the wagon and truck have changed some also. I like yours Marco But I do have a soft spot for These Willys

    you could always add an oil cooler. They have a pretty dramatic effect on engine cooling, and due to increased viscosity, improve oil pressure.
