I've never seen an cooling system problem before, but then again I've only sold a handfull.
No info on Arrington pieces.

10sec340: I think Sanborn is familiar with Arrington. It seems that he mentioned this in one of his posts. CircletrackChat. That 428ci setup would be thr trick of the week but will require constant maintenance, especially with the aluminum rods. Also check with Sanborn on extra cooling mods for R block. Wedgehead
