radiator capacity?
How much coolant does the stock LB9 V8 radiator alone hold? Not the whole system, just the radiator. Thanks!

How Much Beer Can My Radiator Hold ?
Not a question most people would need to know.
Most people take into consideration total system capacity, then add anti-freeze to suit their needs.
Filling up the rad with water and measuring the water might be the only way you’ll find out.

Re: How Much Beer Can My Radiator Hold ?
What is the total system capacity? Just so I now how much Distilled water to buy & how much antifreeze to add. Kinda need to know system capacity before actually figuring everything out accurately.

Re: How Much Beer Can My Radiator Hold ?
My owner's manual says 17 quarts for the 305 TBI. I'm finishing up a 383 install on the same car and when I filled it up, it was more like 15, slightly under 4 gallons.
