Someone mentioned it would be OK to run the stock radiator, I'd beg to disagree! If your going to spend that much money on a big bore, why risk it's reliability with a stock radiator. I'd buy a good quality aftermarket radiator which will provide alot more additional cooling.

WTF, who are you. Do you run one of these motors? Ive ran 3 of these motors and ive seen about 200 of these motors and they all run the stocker and they all do fine. If there was a overheating problem you would have heard about it by now, but you havent.

The stock radiator is fine, trust me

Chill out california dude, too many heat strokes or what!!! The stock radiator was designed to cool a 250CC motor, that's all I'm stating, it wasn't designed to cool a big bore, especially a 350 or 370. You'd have better cooling with a larger capacity radiator!

If somebody disagrees with me then ill state my opinion. My opinion is right, you're wrong. If that is the case (as far as what a stocker is supposed to cool, and not cool). Why is it that they run stock banshee radiators on the 600cc drag motors? Why is it i run a stocker with all our 370's? If you dont have one of these motors and arent speaking from first hand experience then i dont feel you should be misleading somebody. If i dont own or previously owned something somebody is having questions about (particulary your superstitions) then i dont talk. Thats all im saying. If you dont know then dont misguide.

I've run my 350PV on 90+ degree temps, slow riding or hammer down no cooling problems with the stock radiator...

i know who he is. I didnt pay attention to his name until after i posted earlier. We and a couple of my friends have never had cooling issues, even with cast heads.

i run a ct350 pv, high compression, with a stock radiator. i also have an inline temp guage and my temps have never gone over 180 with 170 being the norm... the only time i had a cooling issue was when i ran a louver kit and it ran up to 200
