You made me curious enough to go out to the shop and fill an extra 48 truck rad. The stock V8 rad holds 2 gallons. With a flathead 8 the whole system uses 5 gal. I don't have a 302 I can get to easily.

Thanks Tim

I would think the 302 and flathead would be about the same. At least i have somewhere to start.
