Setting up my cooling system ....

[Brooks James]

This radiator,
hi vol water pump,
;
small ac pulley to increase the rpm of the water pump,

Hayden thermostatic fan clutch
(Operating 60w-70 % of the time)

20 inch fan on the way and 1 1/2 inch away from radrad

(3/4 inch minimum + to Hayden)

shroud if necessary, sheet metal buddy nearby

mild 360 magnum, maybe 360 hp before 150 shot of nitrous

Since you have so many variables you will have to run it to see if it will work.

What I can say is if you used all stock components even with a higher HP motor the chances of cooling correctly are greatly improved.

As for nitrous, it's a short lived thing and plenty of time to cool down after.

I forget to ask the distance between the trans cooler(ac condenser)
and the rad ?

I'm planning a 400 to 512 stroker with the Torqstorm twin under the hood superchargers in the future.

Will need major cooling for that

I'm trying to do it right the first time

Btw

A 20" fan could have no pitch and would not move any air.

Or it could have a 3 inch pitch and move a ton of air but sound like a semi

Just something to think about

I would start with an upper hose.
Without that it may cause an issue.

Dis here ^^^^^^^

Pretty close to the rad but ok
When the fan is mounted it will have1/12 inches clearance from the rad
Rad tight fit, bought it at a swap meet
It just so happens to barely fitit and the rad opening matches perfectly with the fins
Happy to see that there is room between the rad and the ac condenser I'm using for a trans cooler

Are you sure that's an a/c water pump pulley? It looks to be the standard non-a/c 70-up pulley. The a/c pulley is shallower, has a smaller OD, and runs off the front groove of the crank pulley if I recall. Your setup should work fine though. If anything, you may want to add a good shroud to it.

How wide are the tubes in that radiator core? And how many rows are there?

The factory AC one that I have is smaller, which I can't find now
Than this aluminum one which is 6 1/2 diameter, the one on the car is 7 1/2
I'll go aluminum now, if need be I'll install the ac pulley
