Maybe the holes are still there, mine were. it they were filled you probably should be able to see where they were from inside.

Did you or Don open it up when you were cruising to the ponderosa?

re cooling one of these huge hemis...one of my local speedshop owners/racer has been talking about this race coolant that has a much higher boiling point so if your motor gets hot it won't produce those lethal steam pockets near as soon. just in case you get hot.

Liteweight, beauty wiring.

The end result is the biggest rad Be Cool makes to fit in a Big Block A Body without any cutting and 2 puller electric fans. The tanks have notches and fit above the frame rails. After all this, I still have to watch the gauge on hot days. But then again, I do street drive mine every chance I get. Even on those hot days

Thank you for that info! I will monitor things closely, and if it looks like I need to, I won’t hesitate to upgrade. We did have the radiator freshly rebuilt; one more thing I was hoping to keep looking original, but not at the expense of my new engine!

Thank you, I will check into that also.

Maybe someone has a "south of the border salvage" connection?

Absolutely Charlie. Not exclusive to LO BO cars. They came with all heater delete A bodys

Miy side was for sure. I think I told Don to open his.
It pretty much stays open all summer. All that excessive Hemi heat that waafts into the interior...
