Coolant capacity on a Classic

[dadstoy]

Anyone drain and refill the antifreeze/coolant on their 80's 454 classic lately? How much coolant did it take?


Thanks.

Thanks.

Lots

My notes from when I re-cored Peanut's radiator show that I bought 2 gallons of antifreeze. With a 50/50 mix that's about four gallons total.

Very close if not 22.5 quarts total. If your doing a simple flush and fill it will be close to 3 gallons.
