Default water pump and radiator question for 408

I'm in the process of building a 408 with l92's and I'm just curious to see what other people are using as far as water pumps and radiators. Are the stockers good enough or do I need to go with a big water pump and ron davis radiator? And help would be appreciated.

For what it's worth, I'm very seriously thinking of getting and oil cooler for my build if not a rad and cooler. I do run a little hotter that I would like and this is a street car only.

I offer a Ron Davis model with a built in oil cooler. It will drop your oil temps 30-40*, the radiator will drop coolant temps 20% from an oem radiator.

I have some Ron Davis stuff, and it is top notch. Their build quality and cores are among the best out there. Highly recommend.
