- While reeling in ecstasy because my MGB GT V8 just flew down to the BIG car show I still have this nagging ":the engine bay could be cooler when going slow" thought. While at the show I spoke to Keit

- Maybe the aluminum rad had much more capacity. My money is on the mechanical fan. Most electric fans cannot do what a mechanically driven fan can do, airflow-wise. I, also, use a mechanical fan (& a

- Modern ali radiators are usually left shiny. I think they are a matter of greatly reduced cost - as long as they can get one of the required size in - rather than greater efficiency. It is a factor o

- Here's the scoop: Aluminum is less conductive than brass and copper, however, the fins in copper radiators have to be soldered/brazed to the copper tubes. The lead-based braze is FAR less conductive

- I don't mean to sound confrontational but in the interest of preventing the spread of mis-information... A couple of basic truths: Aluminum has roughly twice the convective heat transfer coefficient

- I had a custom rad made up for my project (not aluminum, mostly due to cost). Stock width but 20" tall, 4-core. 2300 miles running with no problems using two original RB electric fans with a thermo s

- James, I certainly wasn't singling you out, just want to be clear on that. Those numbers were just some average coefficients for stock materials that I grabbed real quick. The numbers themselves aren
