I will be installing a 600 HP+ 489-496 ci motor in my 79 later next summer. Wanting to find out what and where is the biggest radiator I can fit in the car. Pretty sure I am looking at 32" wide and about 19" height wise.

Re: Biggest fitting radiator?
yeah im not sure, but these cars have alot of room, so id think you get one in there with min to no problems, i cant remember the stock size, i did however upgrade to a three core from the original single core, but the outside dimensions stayed the same

Yeah, I am guessing they make a four core that size as well. Maybe even a big 2 core aluminum unit with big tubes.
