Coolant capacity with a 'race' radiator?
I've got a Full Blown radiator on the way and was wondering how much coolant I need to pick up for the install? I plan to drain the block too.

I should know this off the top of my head...but don't remember exact amounts.
I'm running a Koyo radiator and recently had it completely drained.
I'm using a mix of about 75% distilled water and 25% antifreeze. I bought 2 gallons of water and 1 gallon of antifreeze (and 1 bottle Redline Water Wetter). That amount covered my fill with some left over.
Not sure if that helps you out.

I did a rad change on a friend's S a couple weeks ago, I just kept putting coolant in trying to get it to squirt out of the top bleeder (one by the firewall). Normally with the OEM rad, I was able to get it to pour out of the top bleeder by just pouring in coolant, but with the bigger rad, I couldnt, so I had to keep massaging the rad hose to keep pushing in more until it filled up.
