Hello all
My 73 dart w slightly wild 360 will overheat within a 15-20 min drive. Radiator appears smashed on bottom, original and small in size. Put new 16lb cap which hides condition for 10min blasts up the street and back. Bought the car in dead of winter so this naturally worsened as ambient temps rose. Thought thermostat was failing turns out it doesnt have one and water flow still appears very slow. Flex fan. No shroud.

What radiator fan combination is proven best.

I am willing to purchase new cooling parts to protect the new motor we just completed that's ready to install. I would like to get the cooling under control w our current motor before stabbing new one in.

Thnx in advance.
 
Champion 3-row 26", 95-99 2.5 V6 Contour Fan, Dakota Digital Brand Fan Controller, 180 thermostat.



I have a 340 that makes 470hp and so far it has never gotten more than a few degrees above the low speed fan on setting of 195.

Having a thermostat is important, and also, I've never felt that flex fans cool well.
