Simon,
One of my objectives was to ensure that my MGB GT V8 would not overheat as
this seems to be a common problem. So I decided to put the exhaust through
the wings (fenders), heavy duty rad and the biggest damn electric fan I
could fit! SO I went with exhausts from Australia, heavy duty rad from
D&D Fabrications (US$350!!) and a 2,950 cfm electric fan from
Perma-Cool. There is no way I will have a heating problem. BUT it was
tricky getting them all in. If you are interested I will tell you - in the
meantime here are photos. (Any lister who wants these photos just let me
know)
