Now that my engine is back together with higher compression I need to consider some additional cooling.
In 80-90 degrees ambient temps, at 3800rpm highway, it runs 200-210-215. So next summer in mid to high 90's, it's going to need some help. I really don't want to install a cooler up front. But are there any alternatives? Rear fender well? Rear trunk with cutout? Engine bay? Any specifics or brand models would be most helpful. Pics? |

I installed one under the rear trunk with a fan. I built a bracket to tilt it toward the wheel well were the air might be cooler. I havent driven it yet to test its effectiveness. and will install a DTM with a cooler built into it when jake gets to it.
