I know the radiator thing has been beaten to death but I need to know about my specific combination. Would the Ford Racing PP aluminum rad. be enough to cool my 393, it has 10.7:1 comp. I willl be using a stock clutch fan and shroud, my other choice is a Ron Davis alum. rad. This veh. will be street drivin in the humid Michigan summmer. Thanks in advance!

The ford racing radiator has some plastic components that can become cracked overtime. The Ron Davis which I also use is completely made of aluminum and is very high quality. I had a slightly blown headgasket (to the outside) so I was continually having overheating issues. Everything checked out ok when I checked for a gasket, so I figured the stock radiator just couldn't keep up with the addition of the turbo. I added the davis radiator and it bought me about 4 more months of driving until finally a little too much boost blew the gasket completely. I highly recommend the ron davis radiator and I think it will be more than enough for your combination.
