[Fot] GT6 cooling

[Edward Dunn]

Jason, et al;

I've tried without a great deal of  success to race a '71 GT6.  Currently
getting about 1.2 races per engine.  Getting a bit too expensive for me,
compared to my Spitfire which is pretty solid.

I won't begin to compare with my wife's vintage Formula V, which just runs and
runs (on pump gas...) and for which a race engine rebuild costs a whopping
$1600...

It appears now that the current issue is cooling.  Running a plastic VW
radiator, stock water pump.  What pulleys are working for you GT6 folks, and
what other things can you suggest to keep temp under control?

Right now, it's got a fresh, relatively mild zero-hour engine, cam, stock
carbs, external oil octopus, Accusump.

I am perplexed...
