6.2 is 379. So according to your rule of thumb the radiator GM uses in front of the 6.2 is approximately 32x18x2 which equals 1152 cubic inches. Something about that doesnt sound right to me.

On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Should be 1 square inch of radiator surface area for every one cubic inch of engine.

Yeah, its not the total surface area, but rather the area that gets exposed to the airflow. The numbers are for the front only..

So then its the same for a brass 1 core that's 3/4" thick or a 4 core or an aluminum 2 core thats 4" thick.
Exactly, i had lunch on the mind at the time.
if you wanted a big radiator for it I have a catapilar one i was thinking of using time back... it is just taking up space in my shop right now
radiator in the back, i garuntee it would be no larger a pain in the ass then having to remount the stock one or another custom unit. Plus it will cool better, i mean all it is some exhaust tubing or something of the like with a couple connectors and bends.
also some custom radiator, well maybe just the low end ones like summits, two row that has 1.5 inch wide rows or whatever i have dont come with any mounting brackets and are kinda pain to install.

yes robert something like aluminized(sp) exhaust tubing "OR SOMETHING OF THE LIKE" as i previously stated, would be very good. With exhaust tubing you have so many different diameters to choose from, plus you can go to autozone or your parts place of choice and pick from like 10 or 15 different pieces and bends, or even some of the flexible exhaust tube.
So yes thats what i meant robert, sorry if i didint think shedule 40 or huge 11 ft long rubber hoses running from the motor to the damn radiator.

easy there, sand up bunghole. just saying exhaust tube seems like a pain in the ass to bend up to what you'd want. you'd have to weld the connections, and even then i'd bet it'd leak through some small hole eventually. its pretty thin as well.
i didnt say it was the worst idea ever
