I was blasted in the face by 200deg coolant this weekend, the Cougar is telling me something. (liquid tan is BS, but liquid sunburn does work!)
I ran at Putnam Park for 2 days and boiled the cooland multiple times. At pace, I never saw less than 210deg. I'm looking fo a radiator to replace the OEM copper that's in the car. Granted, anything will be better than that, but I'm looking for the best bang/buck ratio. I'd like to drop things 10-20deg if possible without adding 8 gallons of coolant.
What kind of drop can be expected from a dimensionally identical aluminum radiator? What are the economical options for going beyond OEM dimensions?
Other mods will follow, looking ar louvering the hood, or otherwise direction air out the top-rear of the engine bay.
Thanks!
