radiator
Will my stock 19 x 22 radiator in my 72 swinger cool my 500 hp 416 if I use the flex a lite 180 puller that summitt sells. It is 16" fan and shroud. I will be running a/c and auto tranny with a remote cooler.

Good question. Is it a two row radiator? If it is,no. A three row,probably,but with a/c,it's a maybe. You'll need a good shroud,depending on how high your compression is(if it's above 9-1),you'll need to run a mite rich with cold plugs,you'll need to watch your ignition timing advance and I advise running the standard distilled water (70%) mixed with 30%,or so,of antifreeze and some Water Wetter. Run a high flow thermostat and make sure it works before you put it in(boil some water and put it in). That's all I can think of for now.

Simple Answer - NO! - You have a ton of cash in your engine. Complete the package and upgrade the cooling system. Alot of folks are running the US Radiator triple flow (the radiators look like the stock mopars) with great results. I have one in my Challenger, same engine as you, with a Lincoln Mark VIII fan system. The fan pulls 3600 CFM and is control with a variable speed controller from AAW.

I doubt your stock radiator will do the job (well). dtedler is right, if you have a lot of money in your engine, why risk it with a stock cooling system. I run a Be-cool on my Cuda, it works ok. I should have gone with the 26 inch instead of the 22 inch in hind sight. 0.02
