If you lose you radiator every time no matter what, then it is something I would consider. I would get the parts from Summit so you can run a radiator cap in the system. It obviously won't cool as well, but some fluid is better than none if you cannot keep a radiator in your car. I was considering it, because I have lost every radiator I have ever ran...in my heat, so well before the feature. Then in the feature, i always ran without water. This year I thought about looping, then decided to try an aluminum radiator.....oh, and I quite running 70's Fords and switched to subframe Imperials. Hopefully one or the other fixes my radiator issues.

Yeah i lose my rad. with in 5 mins. and i am sick of the rad. braking stuff like water pump and pullys ect.I did get a inline filler from speedway motors it was cheaper then summit.I agree on the fact that some water is better then none.I did run dry block last year cuz the monaco wagon i bought had a 4 inch long crack in the block but ran like a champ 318's loves the heat lol.

Especially if you have an old worn out motor that likes heat, and short heats for the most part. I would do it if I were you. Give 'er hell.

Try running a smaller radiator, I have had a lot better luck lately with the small ones that come from s10 blazers. It seems like the bigger radiators twist with the core support more.

the adapter from speedway is $23.99 part # 575-2202 then you can get the bleeder/drain valve for $4.99 part # 917-20405 and i think this should be all you need exept maybe hoses? but for that you could just use flex hoses right or am i wrong?
