I wouldn't advocate cutting or altering anything devoid of stock and appearance Rich. I would find a shroud and maybe a larger fan/smaller pulley and check the setback from the radiator with a smaller spacer maybe? If your radiator is a 2 core, get a 4 core or a be-cool aluminum. If the radiator is getting as hot as the engine it's not got enough cooling capacity (obviously) and you need to increase it. If the engine is substantially hotter than the radiator try a faster pump with higher head capacity. You're close in HP to the original factory MW cars so I think you need to research what the factory put in those for cooling and try and emulate that. I have a bare 26" be-cool in my basement I picked up at a swap meet years ago but it's not stock and I don't think a shroud will fit it. Tom D. Steven and others, Please keep sending your 2 cents. Maybe if we can collect enough money we can solve this problem! Ollie ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
