    Just a question, why are you changing from the Champion radiator and going with something different?
    What kind of radiator are you going with?

    Are those the 295/35-18 tires? They seemed tucked in further than I expected them to be if they are.

    no..they are 285/40-17 and 245/45-17


    the mechanic who owns the shop that the car is now, is Maverick pilot, and he recommended the swap for a larger model .. the same model he uses in his racing mavericks.
    I can not tell which model it is, but as you guys already told me that the champion radiator works well in 347, so I'll keep the radiator for now, I'll change the fan to the side of the pulleys and I will test if the engine heat much, so I change.
