      Yea it actually has the stock 170 cube radiator in it and it actually cools for the most part long cruises it heats up.

          FEs don't run hotter than anything else.

                    Factory 428 CJs used the same radiator as 351 windsors with AC. I've owned many FEs and none ran any hotter than anything else at that displacement.

                    I love early Comets. I think Cory should buy it.

                      It dont run hotter it fills the whole damn engine compartment so there is no air space just a big oven does really good if you run around with the hood off. I had a built 302 in the falcon with the same radiator and it ran hotter than the 390.

                        I fixed mine with a sawzall and a 31" aluminum radiator.

                          its a fact that ford's will run 5 to 10 degrees hotter than your average chevy small block.


                          junk.

                            That's not a fact. Besides you can't compare a big block to a small block.
