    Need help figuring out what is the right cam for my car

    I ran that cam you listed in my 455, and it was an absolute dog. Granted with 3.73 gears it wasn't bad but anything less i hated it.. It always seemed like it lacked low end if you can believe... Personally I would go with a more modern grind.

    Radiator Advice... might be looking for the non-existant

    They still make them brother, they are just uber pricey now. I priced one thru Advance Auto and it was 109ish for a Plastic/aluminum deal and $200 for a copper rad :shock: Hell they weren't even available for a few yrs but I guess the demand is there for them but were going to pay the price.
