Hi All,
Looked up the Stewart Components web site:
<http://www.stewartcomponents.com/index.htm>
and found lots of interesting stuff and links, but mostly Chevvy.

Subject: Cooling Systems
The three major problems on the Sunbeam Tiger cooling system:
The water pump is insufficient, Stewart will be offering a pump within 2
months that will use a casting identical to the stock aluminum unit with
about double the capacity. A modified impeller designed for the 460 Ford pump
will provide the increased performance.(part #16103 @$69.95) To achieve the
Sunbeam configuration you need only press the fan hub on a bit further and
slip a bushing on the shaft to align the larger bore Sunbeam components.
The radiator cap is on the pressure side of the system (so is the Cobra, and
it also over heats). The higher flow pump will push water out the cap if this
is not fixed. Replace the tank with a standard thermostat housing and
Robertshaw thermostat modified by Stewart (180 degree model is part #301
@$10.95) and install a Moroso surge tank plumbed to the inlet side of the
pump and the low pressure side of the radiator. This isolates the cap from
the pump pressure.
The radiator is too small for traditional copper/brass designs. The newer 2
row 1 1/4" tube aluminum radiators such as the Griffin units are much better
and will offer the performace of a copper/brass with about 40% more surface
area.
