Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1965 mustang radiator, heat load, v8 engine

Question
Is the 6 cylinder radiator adequate for a v8 engine?

Answer
Hello Dave,

Unfortunately, the heat load of a V-8 engine is greater than that of a 6. Add modern conveniences like A/C and this radiator would be totally inadequate. I would recommend a V-8 radiator for A/C even if you don't have the option--it will provide additional capacity to keep your ride COOL!

Good luck,

Bob
