Headers and the blower housing outlets Options

[rfinegan]

I have headers on my 2056 and no heat. What are people doing wit the outlets on the Fan/Blower housing at the bottom of the engine?

1) Leave them open and let them blow. NO HE or Tubes and such any more

2) Close off the blower outlets on the housing?

NOTE: this is not the aux electric blower that turns on with the heater in the engine bay


this was an older topic but I’m not finding with me search criteria

maybe i am not understanding but it seems that if we dont need the air from the impeller to push air into the HE, that if you remove those and just block off the bottom of the fan housing that more air would flow then over the top of the motor, its got to go somewhere, i have wondered about that for a while. i know the much of the cooling of the motor is from the oil circulating a pulling heat out internally but over hthe cylinders and heads, more air for certainly is necessary and helpful, now maybe not as much as we would like but less air going out the bottom of that allowing for more air directed over the cylinders i would thing would help especially on hot humid days of the south.
