: I didn't bother reading all of the postings on
: engine cooling thread until tonight. I had
: assumed that this one was beat to death.
: Well, I have a couple more ideas to throw in
: just for grins.
:
: First let me say, the 50/50 antifreeze mix and
: the 190 thermostat are right on. Forget the
: noise and hp loss. If you need/must stick
: with the original radiator, get as much fan
: as you can. I'd suggest using one of the
: plastic flex fans. I try to maintain at
: least 3/4" clearance to the radiator.
: Also make sure you're using a fan shroud.
:
: If your car has an automatic transmission,
: disconnect it from the radiator and mount a
: remote transmission cooler. The street
: rodder boys mount them to the frame rails
: next to the drive shaft. Summit Racing has
: long skinny ones for this purpose. Also,
: consider a remote engine oil cooler. Summit
: also has these with the little electric fan
: already mounted. Both of these coolers will
: suck more heat out of the engine, leaving
: less work for the radiator to do.
:
: OK, I'm better now, that's my $0.02. Hope this
: helps.
