    Hello...

    New member here with a question. Can anyone give me information on what the "Extra Cooling Package" is and where I can find information about it? I'm looking at a 1968 GT350 with the Extra Cooling Package and want to know what it is; I haven't found anything in searches giving specifics.

    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John and welcome. On a 68 350 the extra cooling package upgraded the radiator from a 20" to a 24" and included a thermal clutch and a multi pitch blade. It was standard on all 350s.

    Tim,

    Thanks for the help and the fast reply! I wasn't finding anything in the normal search engines.

    I thought that the Power steering cooler was part of that package as well. ??

    Not really. It was in the sense that all 68 350s had extra cooling and all had PS coolers but the one did not dictate the other. You have to think of more as a Shelby package rather than a Mustang with options package.
