RE: Running Hot

We've had several Durango and Dakota's (out here) have custom 4-core
radiators built (about $300). While the factory radiator is somewhat of a
hindrance (2-core), it can handle a 318 to 360 swap without issues. Fan
shroud and actual cooling (electric or viscous fan) makes a world of
difference.

The high-flow pumps DO work well but only if all other items in the cooling
system are up to par.

I put the 360 in there, it has been running hot. <<

I would also like to have a larger capicity radiator for my '95
Dak that came with a 318 but is soon to have a 360. Any
recommendations from the GURUs here??? I haven't been
able to find one available from any of the local parts houses,
