[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 15642947, member: 35549"] FWIW, I ran a stock fan, pump, radiator, oil cooler, and thermostat on my 01 with the F1A. I dropped the fan temps about 10 degrees from stock. Temps would hang around 200 degrees. Looking back I wish I had swapped to a 170 or 180 thermostat. But it kept that temp even driving to Vegas with the A/C on. IMO the stock stuff is pretty capable. As DSG said, you're not going to get a bigger radiator in there with an F1A and 8 rib set up. Maybe you can have a custom unit made with larger tubes. I had a custom radiator made for my 1970. It was the same thickness as a 4 row, but used 5/8" tubes over 3/8". So technically it was a 3 row, but kept that engine in the 180's in Arizona summers. [/QUOTE]
